Tangerine Horizon

There’s nothing like the serenity of watching the sun disappear behind the horizon. It’s almost as if you can feel the world calming as the air cools and the light fades. And sometimes you are blessed with colors so vivid that you’d swear you were on a another planet.

This is the sunset over Lake Mille Lacs. The lake is so vast that you can only barely see land in the distance. Sometime I imagine I’m on a Hawaiian Island or on the shore of Jamaica soaking in the finale of a tropical day. And with dew points reaching the 70s on some summer days, Minnesota can feel pretty tropical itself.
