RE: We Interrupt Our Regularly Scheduled Programming to Bring You: This Year's BEST Sunset!

in #life7 years ago

Sunsets are very emotional. I guess it might have something to do with us associating it with an ending. Did I accomplish enough today, am I going to miss this day..? A feeling of longing, loneliness and awe.

Skønne billeder.

Tak for det! Da jeg var lille havde vi sommerhus i Nordsjælland; det lå på lidt af en bakke med udsigt mod vest og der var mange flotte solnedgange... og det var noget at se, selv da jeg var 5-6 år gammel.

Yes, it's an emotional thing, as well. Sunsets often put my in a state of remembering something that used to be. It is like the Japanese phrase/feeling "Mono No Aware" which loosely translated means the slight sadness we feel at knowing the passing of time makes it impossible for what is right now to ever be again.

Awesome phrase. I have always needed a way to express this feeling.

Vi tager også i sommerhus i Nordsjælland om et par uger :)
