Another fiery sunset. I never get tired of seeing them. You know what they say... 'Red sky at night, shepherds' delight.' (Or sailors', depending, I suppose, on how near you are to the coast.) It's said to mean good weather on the following day. We shall see. And I learned something today... the red sky lore is, apparently, even something that Jesus is said to have alluded to (according to the Bible, Matthew 16: 2b-3) when rebuking the Pharisees and Sadducees:
'When it is evening, you say, "It will be fair weather; for the sky is red." And in the morning, "It will be stormy today, for the sky is red and threatening." You know how to interpret the appearance of the sky, but you cannot interpret the signs of the times.'
Still true, I think!
I never tire of sunsets and sunrises, and everything in between, either. The firey sunset in this picture looks very similar to one of the sunrises I saw this week.
