Description
A stunning capture of that last light of the day. I loved the colors and cloud cover so I grabbed my camera and started shooting. I thought it only fitting to add a scripture on the image. This would be a great piece in any room, office or for a friend that you want to give inspiration to. I did add a painterly effect and textures to the image.
Sunset or sundown is the daily disappearance of the Sun below the western half of the horizon, i.e. at an azimuth greater than 180 degrees, as a result of Earth's rotation.
The time of sunset is defined in astronomy as the moment when the trailing edge of the Sun's disk disappears below the horizon. The ray path of light from the setting Sun is highly distorted near the horizon because of atmospheric refraction, making the sunset appear to occur when the Sun�s disk is already about one diameter below the horizon. Sunset is distinct from dusk, which is the time at which the sky becomes completely dark, which occurs when the Sun is approximately eighteen degrees below the horizon. The period between sunset and dusk is called twilight.
Locations north of the Arctic Circle and south of the Antarctic Circle experience no sunset or sunrise at least one day of the year, when the polar day or the polar night persists continuously for 24 hours.
Sunset creates unique atmospheric conditions such as the often intense orange and red colors of the Sun and the surrounding sky.

Darren, I like your message, however, I check Genesis 1:1 in 10 different English translations and the verse read, "God created the heavens (with an s) and the earth." You might want to change your text to reflect its accuracy. If I noticed it I am sure someone else will to. Please receive this with the friendliness with which it is intended as a fellow FAA Artist. Blessings.
