The Blushing Sun

Horsey Mere, Norfolk Broads, UK.

Visit collection: Wonderful Britain.
The sun sets over a body of water, orange, amber and red reflect the sky, as the sun dips, two swans glide across the water.
I am told the sun is very old An ancient orb of burnished gold. A glowing mantle is his gown. A fiery aura is his crown. To keep him in his finest prime the sun retires each night on time. The evening clouds gently billow To provide the sun with a pillow. But the evening clouds can be late which causes the sun to get irate Smouldering, he settles down a furious red, without his gown. The errant clouds, feeling a tad abashed turn the sky pretty pink as out of sight the sun slowly sinks.

After so much unseasonal weather this week I revisited one of my favourite sunsets, taken a few years ago looking across Horsey Mere, as soon as we had moored up for the night, camera in hand I found this spot and settled down. Soon to be joined by a couple sharing a hip flask. I was joined by my husband who handed me a mug of hot chocolate. No words were needed, and as the sun did its thing, gloriously, two swans returning for the night glided across the mere, how dreamy was that.
