The Bent Page

People love to watch the sunset. My friend Bob never tires of this. He lives in Aruba, down the road from my place, and as often as possible, sometimes seven days a week, he sits on his deck with a cold beer and toasts the end of a fine day. Here’s an example.

I took this one looking northwest from Savaneta, the little fishing village where we live. The colors were spectacular. It was possible to watch them change as the sun dropped. At the lower latitudes, the sun descends rapidly. Actually the earth turns; the sun stays where it is. But you think the sun is descending. Anyway, you can’t beat the view from here. The stuff of legend and romance.
