Sabine in Gozo

Random rants & pics from a little island in the Mediterranean Sea

Super Sunset

So it’s over a week ago that I said “tomorrow is another day”. That’s how it goes, my life seems to be one big merry-go-round, though it isn’t exactly merry, most of the time. It just zooms by in a hurry…

Yesterday I was MOD (or ‘manager on duty’, for the non-hoteliers among you); I’ll never lie and say I enjoy these 14 hours shifts. Thankfully they come around only once every 4 to 6 weeks, so it’s safe to say I can live with them. On these days I usually lug my camera with me – you never know that opportunities might come along! After a long drawn-out day I was rewarded when the time came for the sun to set.

A friend of mine (who also saw yesterday's sunset) said it looked almost unnatural - it did!

Getting such shots done, make it all worthwhile for me! :)

    I often tend to see the ugliness of Gozo – while driving or while going for walks – I just can’t help noticing discarded household goods, rusty drums, building rubble, litter etc.
    So thank God for your pictures because you have the gift to capture the beauty of this island – you look below the surface – like any artist would! :)

    thank you Karin – your comments are always very encouraging! :)
    I, too, see the ugly stuff (I’d be blind if I didn’t!!) – but somehow it’s still better than elsewhere……..
