Day 471, Going Down

Have I captured too many sunsets?

Somehow I don’t think that is possible as every single one of them is unique. In some ways the really good ones are like putting a bet on a race. If the sky is clear the odds against are really low with almost certainty that you will see the sun setting on the horizon. But like a low paying bet it might not have been worth the trouble. On the other hand if the sky is thick and heavy with cloud the odds are now stacked against you with a good chance the sun will never show. But now the odds are high and if that sun just happens to appear in that narrow gap that just opened up on the horizon, the pay off is wonderful.
