Bridget and I are camped at Corvina Beach Campground which is part of the Salton Sea State Recreation Area.
NOTE: Text for the first segment of this post has been removed.
In the custom of many campers, as sunset time approaches I position my chair to enjoy the show.
Bridget and I have made our home at the Salton Sea for a week and every night we’ve been given a wonderful sunset. Each sunset conveys a different mood or “personality.” Here’s an example from a few days ago.
Every sunset changes quickly. The birds hush into a dreamlike state, drifting in the watercolor of the lake that is painted by the setting sun. Sometimes the sunset is subdued and moody.
Okay, so you’ve seen a lot of sunset photos.
I’ve posted several in my Salton Sea posts lately. I don’t try to make the sunsets what they aren’t. In other words, I don’t use “color boost” or “saturation” or “glow” or any of the other photo enhancers. I straighten the horizon, crop the photo for composition, put a frame around it, and slap it into the post.
It’s hard to believe these are real.
I assure you that what you see below is the real deal. This is yesterday’s sunset soon after the sun disappears behind the mountains on the other side of the Sea.
Wow!
Suddenly the world is awash with purple and pink!
Fuschia!
I’ve seen a lot of spectacular, absolutely exquisite sunsets in the four winters we’ve camped in the Southwest. This definitely is one of the best I’ve ever witnessed.
What you see here is only what is within the frame. Imagine this color blazed across the sky and reflected in the lake from far left to far right . . . .
I stand in awe.
Why did I sell my house and give up most of my possessions?
Why did I choose to live in a little trailer to travel from place to place?
What single reason can I give?
It’s difficult to come up with one reason because there are many convincing reasons for living as a nomad in this beautiful country.
I do know, however, that this sunset is reason enough.
