Here's a pic I took from the front door of the place on Bora Bora ('twas on that beach that my 'epiphanic moment' with Vaughan Williams's 'Sea Symphony' took place, as related e.g. on the thread about Prom 1)

A cliché'd staple of the amateur photographer? No doubt. But the above couple of entries from the 'Stormy Weather' made me think this might elicit some pleasurable vistas....

Wonderful! (Mine were 11.5 degrees North. Caliban's was 16.5 degrees South.)

Cali, I am not surprised you had that rather I would say, 'spiritual' moment, with RVW.

There is something about a sunset, though, isn't there - we may have seen hundreds of them, but when the last light is framed by the first darkness it just sparks feelings that are new (not "clichéd") each time. Good images (paintings, photos) remind us of what we've experienced - and there are some real corkers on this Thread already: more, please (and thanks, Cali).

"It was the hour of sunset, and as we stood there, an unimaginable glory of flame developed in the west so that all the wooded heights seemed on fire".

From Arnold Bax's autobiog., "Farewell, my Youth".

True indeed, ferns (and you're welcome)

And of course there's the whole Straussian, "Im Abendrot" thing going on too...

I nearly headed this thread "Im Abendrot" but decided it was a bit precious
