sunlight: a reminder

For our friends in Colorado, and Boston, and faraway Scotland, who are apparently suffering from sunlight deprivation, here's a reminder of what it looks like when viewed at sunset. And for our special friend who doesn't even like putting her toes in the water when she goes to the beach, contemplate that this was taken from a sailboat about 20 miles out into the Gulf of Mexico, west of Naples, Florida, when the wind was barely strong enough to budge the boat and the water was as smooth as a baby's bottom.

I broke the rule about horizons (upper third, lower third, but never across the center) but in this case I like the result. Don't ask me what was breaking the surface in the foreground. If it was a sea critter, we didn't catch it despite our best efforts.
