Chasing Sunset - A Journey to the Horizon

in WE ARE MOVING6 months ago (edited)

There is a magical quality to how the sky transforms in a tentative way, painting a canvas of vibrant colors that seem almost surreal. The attraction of a sunset is universal, drawing people from all kinds of races of life to pause for a moment and witness that day’s grand finale. Oh, how beautiful it is! I am obsessed with such beauty. Maybe not just me, I know some of us, but most of us. Chasing sunset is more than a simple act of watching how the sun goes below and under the horizon. It is an experience that echoes deeply with the human spirit, symbolizing endings and new beginnings. Such beauty is found in transitions as the sun sets.

Showcasing a variety of colors that captivate the eye and stir the soul – that’s how sunset a testament to nature’s artistry. In the morning as the sun rises, it creates and updates us that there is a new beginning after the darkness. As the sun descends, it cast a warm, golden glow that gradually shift to hues of orange, pink, and sometimes creating a visual symphony that can leave one being breathless. The sunrise and the sunset remind us of the natural world’s natural beauty, prompting a sense of awe and appreciation for the planet we live on – the EARTH.

As a beginner photographer, I often chase sunsets. Seeking to capture the passing moments of spectacle that define twilight hours. Each sunset is unique, looking and observing at it, it is shaped by the interplay of light, weather, clouds, and geography, making every chase a manifesting and exciting adventure. I really love to take photos of sunsets. It gives us inspiration, challenging us to seek a perfect shot that carries magic and mystery of the moment.

Sunsets indicate a beginning and an ending: the end of the day and beginning of night. This daily occurrence can serve as a metaphor for the various transition in our lives. Just as the sun sets only to rise again. Like our life, when you are in the moment of downness, remember that there’s still light that shines after the rain, there’s still rainbow after the storm. A meditative experience, offering a moment to reflect for the day, and look forward to the future. (Sigh) That’s life though. Like what Master Oogway said in the movie Kung Fu Panda, “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is mystery, but today is a gift, that’s why it’s called the present”.

I find solace in the natural order of things; I mean it is like a ritual to me. It is my time to unwind from the day’s stresses and to reconnect with myself, thinking about how’s my day and how it ends. Is it a dormant or a productive day. Sunsets for me bring a sense of peace and clarity, making my day a cherished practice seeking a balance in my daily life.

From serene beaches and rugged mountains, I often find this amazing nature to observe sunsets. It involves journeying to both literal and metaphorical world I can explore new places and escape the hustle and bustle of life. I enjoy exploring new places chasing the perfect sunsets. Finding an ideal spot; what danger will it bring, the pleasure of finding hidden place; am I the first one to discover it (laughing out loud), and the treasured moments with fellow sunset chaser; there are many people here, like hello, I’m not the only one here (more laugh and story to tell). It really creates and encourages a sense of freedom and openness to new experiences.

Chasing sunset is more than just a hobby to me but it is my way to celebrate the beauty of nature, the significance of transitions, and the adventure of chasing it. It’s an invitation to pause, reflect, and appreciate the fleeting moments of luxury that each day offers.

The sun leaves behind a promise of new beginnings and endless possibilities of our daily lives. So, let’s continue to chase the horizon, embracing the journey and cherishing the moments of wonder that come with every sunset. Life is wonderful and beautiful, so let’s enjoy it from day to day.

Thank you for reading.
Hope you enjoyed it!
