The sun is the star at the centre of the Solar System that brings light and warm to the earth. As the sun rises each day, it brings with it a hope and promise of a new day, a new opportunity to change to address the losses of yesteryear, bring clarity to the confusion birthed from yesterday's miscommunications, an opportunity to change our world and effect change and love harder. The rising of the sun is one of those unique aspects that remind us that we are not here by accident, that the world is still spinning and that an intelligent creator pulled it all together as a sign of hope for his creation.
I love taking pictures of the sky, of the sun and nature generally, but the sun is one that always seems to steal the show or the frame in this case. When there it is rising, bringing with it new hope, or setting...signifying another day gone, a new page appearing in history, destinies redirected, altered, and for some eternally set. Sunsets inspire reflection on what we achieved and what we missed... We survey the 86 400 seconds we were given to create moments that will last a lifetime and see our legacies start to shape...
