A heavy band of darkness lay over the west end of the lake, even as the last light of day still clung to the sky. Then, tiny spots of fire began appearing on the horizon, as if some invisible hands were opening the portals so the solar deities of all the ages could take one last look at the lake before retiring—and in the process afford any mortals who happened to be watching a brief glimpse of the sanctum sanctorum.

Totally fantastic, Deborah! I love those little windows! Hope whatever deities look out at our sad world will be able to offer help of some kind.
Have a great weekend!

How neat is that... almost like God was saying... no wait, I want you to see this!
I loved your words as much if not more than the photos. Thanks
fascinating photos...
Beautiful Deb.... Love seeing the sun---at the end of the day... It does look like fire.
Hugs,

That orange is so uplifting in the sky. You know, where we live in the woods, you can never see sunrises or sunsets. Just the sky straight above the trees. It's so cool to look at photos of a more expansive sky.
The words were lovely, Deb. What a sky that is! What is that on the water, anyway?
Love the words with your photos. Makes it all sound so magical.
Amazing shots. My first visit to your blog. I'll be back.
Your photos today are outstanding. You captured nature at its best.
Your words are poetry - as are the photos.
I am reading another of your books of poetry just now - Translating Genesis. Love it!
Wonderful images!!
Very well done, Deborah! I'm glad I clicked to see the larger versions, especially the first one. The power of the lake comes through very strongly.
Very, very beautiful. Your description was beautiful to read, too.
Those are fantastic captures, Deb! Just beautiful.
Magical photos, magical narrative.
Wow! A red sanctorum!
Love it, Deb
Aloha, Friend!

How awesome!
Beautiful photographs - the mystery and power of fire.
Beautiful photo, the sunset is just peaking out. Thanks for sharing your sky.
Hey there! Why don't you repost this on Halloween?
Love those lights.
Yeahhhhhh!!
What a sight that must have been, Deb. Eerie and perhaps a little hopeful as well.
Isn't that band of light amazing! If only the deities would squeal through to offer us humans some help!
That is cool with what you captured. Have you heard of the green flash?
