An Unexpected Display of Nature's Beauty

Seen goin west on state highway 24 toward Russellville, Alabama.

An Unexpected Display of Nature’s Beauty

 

By Elton Camp

 

When the drive commenced, it was windy and wet

But suddenly there appeared an amazing sunset

 

Clear skies far off toward the west had just appeared

As the edge of the storm front from the area cleared

 

The remaining clouds were painted all pink and blue

And bare trees were silhouetted in fabulous ways, too

 

With each passing minute, the astonishing sight changed

As clouds and fading sunlight the spectacle rearranged

 

I drove on, privileged to have seen such a wonderful sight

As the approaching twilight gently gave way to the night

 

 

(To get the full effect, take a look at the photograph taken by my daughter on state highway 24 going west toward Russellville, Alabama.)

The poem is beautiful and so in the hotograph. My daughter also takes nature photographs, but never a sunset like this.
