Things that pop into my head that i wish to write down.
Desert Thoughts
Is it not just a wonderful thing to experience a sunrise? I like stayng up days at a time just to see a sunrise. But its also fun to think about that their are 24 sunrises in the world one for every time zone. Also their are 24 sunsets which i take as inverted sunrises. In the morning there are pinks, blues, yellows, and wisps of a fading purple. Its so pretty. lol. But on the other hand is a sunset the same? No..sunsets get vibrant yellows, burnt oranges, midnight purples, and the last traces of a wayward blue. I wish i could paint those 24 sunrises and 24 sunsets. It would be a tribute to how many beginnings and endings there are to a day on Earth by that of the sun. Although i know it keeps going on forever i would just like to capture those Landscapes one-by-one. Each being different in there own way. Dawn and Dusk. But then again i like the night time the best.

Everythings quiet, asleep, safe, and placid. The stars and planets are visible to the eye. But a amazing place to experince the night time sky is in a desert. I took a trip to Death Valley during the day i discovered Hell. At night i was closer to heaven then any angel. It was just an endless sea of candles burning in the midnight void. All i wanted to do was lie there and just seep it in. It was quite cold, enough to make you feel a chill not in your spine but your very heart. Like your seeing something so breathtaking it doesnt necessarily take your breath away to see it but a part of your life force. It didnt matter to me if it did or not. I didnt grab a blanket i just layed down in the sand and just sunk into it like it was there to embrace my entire being. No clouds to block my view, just a soft chilly wind that washed over me like a rejuvenating splash of reality. a coyote would would howl miles away but the same wind that blew became an ethereal messenger to deliver the coyotes solemn cry. I would love to live in the desert one day. I dont think i would ever get tired of the wonders to behold there. To think I would wake to hell and go to sleep in heaven all in one place.

    Often, I would wake and 4 in the morning, get on my bike and ride across my city to get to the mountains. When there, I would hike to the top and wait, sometimes with a camera. Just waiting and waiting for the sun to rise. about 3 days a week I leave my house to watch the morning fade in. the sunrise making the perfect blending of colors no artist could ever begin to illustrate. Staring and thinking of nothing but it for the brief time it is there. I leave an hour early normally to stare at the stars. Unfortunately I live in a bright city, but I can see enough to be completely satisfied. Even one would be fine. When I see my first star I always say "starlight starlight, first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, Have the wish I wish tonight. I wish for happiness and nothing more. Every night it is a repetition that leads my hear soaring for hours and smiling through the day. People always ask me "You look happy" and I quickly reply with "I am always happy.

    You really know how to desribe the sunset/rise. 'It was quite cold, enough to make you feel a chill not in your spine but your very heart. Like your seeing something so breathtaking it doesnt necessarily take your breath away to see it but a part of your life force.' They're my favourite two lines.

    I love the contrasts between subjects.
    ^^
    The detailing is lovely.
    I've never been in the desert itself in anyway that affected me.
    Perhaps if I stopped while zooming by it I may just get to notice such splendors. ^^
