Sunsets in P.E.I.

We enjoyed many sunsets when we were on our trip east, and they were all special. These were taken at the Confederation Bridge in Prince Edward Island. We were camped a few kilometres away, and saw that the sunset was going to be a good one, so quickly got into the truck to see what it looked like setting over the Northumberland Strait. It was beautiful, especially when seen with the Confederation Bridge in the foreground.

When I took the photo of the bridge, the wind was so strong that it was hard to stand upright. The bridge itself is impressive, but it's the sunset that really adds to the picture. A tripod might have helped, but two other photographers who were taking pictures with their cameras on tripods were having trouble keeping their tripods upright. I was also afraid that if I went back to the truck for my tripod, that the colours would disappear before I got back.

 When we looked away from the sunset, we saw the colours on the lighthouse and clouds. The colour (and the moon in the second picture) add to the picture of the lighthouse. This has to be one of the best times of the day for taking photos.

The sun rises and sets. We are not to worship the creation (the Sun), but the Creator (God). He is the One who has made sunsets for us to enjoy.

The LORD is my strength and song, 

and He has become my salvation; 

This is my God, and I will praise Him.
