Imagination

When you think about the word "imagination", you will notice that the word "image" is embedded within it. The well-known expression "a picture is worth a thousand words" comes to mind. The interesting thing is that each person may see an image differently, perhaps even different from what the photographer had in mind. On this new page on The Write Palette website, we hope you will enjoy some favorite locations, whether you have been to these places previously or not. With a "Sunset" theme for the first entry, we take you today to New Jersey and Florida. The first two images were of the western New Jersey sky as the sun was going down on two different, stormy days. The mountains in the distance and the nearby tree plus a thick cloud layer created a nice silhouette. The second image was a battle between the clouds and sun. In the third image, this was being in the right place at the right time. In Liberty State Park in Jersey City, New Jersey, there is an old, inactive railroad terminal. Just a few miles as the crow flies to Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, the low, setting sun on a crisp, clear winter's day made for a nice setting. The last two images were along the Gulf Coast of Florida. In one, the sun was getting ready to drop below the horizon, but not before a boat passed in front of it. In the last image, there was insufficient time to get to the beach in Sarasota before the sun went down, but there was a bay along which there were people watching the sunset. Making a lucky guess, we drove down a street that sounded as if it might have a decent view - what we got was another silhouette at sunset.
