Another sunset. This one on the Albanian coast. I watch from a seaside perch on a distant hill as the sun sinks into the Adriatic Sea gilding ancient ruins into lost cities of gold.
This is my time of travel; four continents in just a few weeks. I am up for the task – there is so much of this world to take in and to feel; I am a willing participant.I realize today's sunset is tomorrow's sunrise in the next place this journey takes me. With mission accomplished I speed across the skies like a wayward Apollo chasing the sun to the next port of call.
Arriving in time to catch the next one rising or falling as the tilt of the earth demands.
I have crossed so many latitudes and longitudes I have no concept of time. I now measure my days in sunset and sunrises.
From the frozen steppes of Asia to the balmy shores of Europe; I flinch - this world is so damn magnificent. Tomorrow I journey yet again -- to the in between place; between continents, between hemispheres - always chasing the sun.
Today's SkyWatch is from Albania
TR: Those are some beautiful capture from around the world. I'm glad you caught the son.

ReplyDeleteMagnificent indeed. That's such a wonderful word. It describes all scales of our world- whether hemipheres and continents or licken growing on a piece of tree bark or the scales on a moth's wing. I don't think I have the soul of a traveller but I enjoy seeing the view through your words and photos.
ReplyDeleteThose are deliciously beautiful...

ReplyDeleteAll beautiful but the last one with the searchlight beaming down realy has the WOW factor.
ReplyDeleteTim, the sun is the sun wherever you are, either at home or longitudes and latitudes far away. Thus, you are Faraway, Nearby, chasing your connecting home spot each day.
ReplyDeleteFabulous. Safe travels, please.
Bravo maestro!
ReplyDeleteAll so stunning, hon! Although there's an upside to all of your travels, of course, I wouldn't want to deal with the hectic-ness, the jet lag, etc. How do you even know your own, true age anymore? *L*
