A different light

I have not been out of the house much in the past week but last night I took the camera and the car and went up behind Carluke to watch the sun going down.
Alongside more conventional 'sunset' photographs showing the sun as a bright red ball in the sky, and lighting up the few clouds that were around, I took this one.
It is meant to be a bit like a watercolour. Gentle and serene. I love it when the low sun can make hills and fields, which you know are solid, seem like semi-transparent tissue-paper.
If I ever do get back to painting I'll maybe do a little watercolour of this scene.
Did you realise that even Lanarkshire could look so lovely?
In a similar way, I think one of the things that the Spirit of Jesus Christ can do is enable you to see other people in a different light.

This is a lovely sunset. I love to watch the sun setting and I get a great view from the window of my flat. The only problem is I am sure people in the houses across the way from me must think I am very noesy staring out my window at them :-)

They probably won't even notice you. Too many people don't seem to notice anything. The best thing is that the light-show when the sun sets is free to view!
