Tonight when I was getting ready to make dinner I saw a beautiful amber colored glow in our dining room. I looked out to see what was happening outside and saw the sun setting behind our building. I know when I start seeing the lovely gold and purple sunsets that spring is well on it’s way. I ran to get my camera before the sun went down and managed to snap a few shots.
When I took the photo off the camera and looked at it, I felt like it was playing mind tricks on me. I know the view from where I took the photo. It’s from my balcony, overlooking the houses and trees behind us. Still, when I looked at the photo I saw another view. As though I was standing up on a hill looking down over water with small islands or shadows from the clouds and the reflection of the sun. Do you see it?
I like that I managed to capture the birds without meaning to and that a view I see every day can somehow make me see something else in a photo.
Spring is coming, I hope you’re ready! Every year it’s winter one day and spring the next, or it feels that way anyway. It’s going to happen any day now, I can feel it!
I thought that it was a photo from camping,was surprised to read that it is urban.

Love this photo. Looks like another place, somewhere more exotic.
Yeah, hard to believe it’s just a random ol’ Saturday sky in Rotterdam, huh? You must get some GREAT views from your place do you?
I definitely saw the hill/water view. To me, it took me back to the sand dunes at the beach. Lovely!
