By the sea.......

Sunset by the sea

I must go down to the sea again, to the lonely sea and the sky;

And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by.

Kunal: delhi has its yamuna...doesn't it :DDDD

Mr. J said...

Lol!!.. You seem to have a natural 'inclination' to the left. :P

Sarad said...

mr.j: Tilt your head to the right and the symmetry in the pic looks even better.

Chica, Cienna, and Cali said...

Beautiful. As much as I love the mountains that we have here, I do wish at times that I lived near the ocean so I could experience the sunrises and sunsets there:)

carmilevy said...

I completely agree with you: you MUST go down to the sea. Again and again. This image is so emotional, so pure. It takes me to a place that I love beyond words and makes me want to paint it for everyone I know who can't be here with me.

In a word, stunning. Thanks for posting this!

AphotoAday said...

My very favorite poem. I love a gulf sunset too. Thank you so much for sharing. I grew up on the east coast of Florida and I am still in love with the Sea.
