Wish the sun to stand still

stand still, reaching out


Wish the sun to stand still, reaching out to touch our own being, past two mortals as we, here we should be.
Like the time I ran away and turned around and you were standing close to me.

Great colour here Steve with reflection of the sky onto the roofs and not a puff of smoke from the chimneys. Well done. Cheers, Bernz

I would love to see more sunsets like this from my back garden... Excellent range of colours and exposure control.

I like the way you have used the roofs to create a vanishing point and also the reflection of the sky on the roofs. Where do you get the time?!

Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious! Nice shot, Steve. I like how the rooftops sort of funnel the image right into your lap.

Another perfect pairing Beach .. I borrowed a few lines that I find are appropriate for your post (obvious guy says .. ) but more so your work ...

Master of Images
Songs cast a light on you
Hark thru dark ties
That tunnel us out of sane existence
In challenge as direct
As eyes see young stars assemble

Master of Light
All pure chance
As exists cross divided
In all encircling mode
Oh closely guided plan
Awaken in our heart

I like the different angles you have captured that draw your eyes into the picture through to the light in the background with hints of it on your way upon the roof tops.
