week seven — sanibel sunset

i’m a sucker for good sunrises and sunsets, and that’s one of the things that i miss most about my last apartment.  i was on the northwest corner of the seventeenth floor of an apartment complex that had an unobstructed view of the lake.  since i moved, i haven’t made it a point to get out and see the beginnings and ends of the day, and i’ve no doubt missed quite a few beautiful views (and photo opportunities) as a result.  one of my mom’s new years resolutions is to see more sunrises and sunsets, and i think i’m going to adopt that resolution as well.  there’s something about the light at those times of day that encourages reflection and enhances perspective…
