| Sunset and subsequent twilight (curse Stephanie Meyer for ruining the word "twilight"). | |

| Pre-dawn myself, because of where I lived, dawn had very interesting colours (facing east mainly) | |

| Full moon, on a mostly clear night, shortly after the rains have gone.
The intoxicating aroma of iron and alkali rising up from the soil all around, like being enveloped in hope, in forgiveness. Where once there was a barren waste, green things will come up in its place, unwarranted, unfounded, mysterious. But, for now, the soil is blue, not unlike the waters which set our orb apart from all the rest. I wonder what the angels felt here so long ago, before the earth and the seas separated themselves? They must have been giddy at what was to come, and that all they had to do, was wait.
The ever demure, soft, white glow of my Queen's footstool, faintly encircled by almost two, exquisitely iridescent coronas. Is there anything more majestic? She, like the moon merely reflects the truth. The Truth, he loves her so much for her virtues, that her visage be as staid as the radiance of the full moon. So that as we live, it will never hurt to look.

A very copious thank you to you both. I wish you could hear the sigh of relief that just escaped my being. I wrote to save my parent's house. I wrote to save father's job. I wrote my nearest little brother's résumé. Well, I guess it's settled then. It's time for me to go write movies. ------ Man oh man, does anyone else have a hankerin' for a real good piece of apricot or pecan pie? À la mode, even? Ever since Maryanne stopped selling Mee Maw's pieces of heaven at her diner, my town hasn't had a good piece of pie in it for about four years. If either of you are near a stellar piece of apricot or pecan pie, then have a slice for me would yah? (This goes for anyone else who likes my writing and may happen to be near an exquisite piece of apricot or pecan pie, as well.) | |

| Pecan pie is pretty good, but I'm more of a fresh made Blackberry, or even better yet, Blueberry pie man...vanilla ice cream on the side. To me, that's about as close to a heavenly combination made for devouring as I can contemplate | |

| Sunset. From my bedroom I can watch the sun set directly in front of my window while I observe the beautiful golden and orange last rays that make it onto the red walls. And those sunsets are always a beauty I'd like to capture forever. (Pity I can't draw them...) In all kinds of rich colors ... sometimes most stunning combinations of light and dark blue, gold, orange and deep red. But the best sunsets are those with a sea of clouds above and below. I always wonder how those look like someone took an ocean and spun it upside down ... as if the sun would sink into the waters. I could sit there for hours and watch this spectacular view. (In fact, I do. ) | |

You could draw them to the best of your ability. Easier said than done, though, I know.

| Before Sundawn
You should see the sundawn here, looking at the ocean. I rather have grey clouds than big sun, but not much. I get big sun all the time here =[ | |

| I live on the west coast of the U.S., so I get to see sunsets over the ocean. Big orange sunsets. | |

Huh? Me? Naw, I think you got that wrong. I'm sure you wanted to say you'd love to hear yourself ruminate on that. Or is that just me? Well, I'd certainly like to hear it. Your comments up to now were very ... capturing, to say the least. I'm sure I couldn't reproduce this quality. (And, to be honest, I don't have a good grip on the 'Wall' and the BRD and DDR... that was a little before my time. To be precise, the fall of the Wall was before my time, too. And my history teacher, pardon me, just sucks. ) | |

Trust what makes you sad and happy. It's worth it, believe me. It will be of great quality precisely because it will be your quality. Go ahead and be afraid to have your writing be judged, I always am.

Well I'm old enough to have personal experience with East and West Germany. But to tell you the truth, I never thought about something like this. The only thing about the sun and the two parts of Germany is this old Joke about Erich Honnecker. I'll try a rough translation: In the morning. Erich at the east window: "Good morning, dear sun!" Sun:"Good morning, dear Erich." At noon, south window. Erich:"Good day, dear sun." Sun:"Good day, dear Erich." In the evening, west window. Erich:"Good evening, dear sun." Sun:"You can kiss my ass! I'm in the West now!" - | |

Go ahead and be afraid to have your writing be judged, I always am. Oh, well. I'm just too easy to talk into things sometimes ... although I don't feel good hijacking threads. Not even in the official off-topic section. Oh, well. You bet I'm afraid of judgement. Especially if I think something is good ... it's just like maths: if you're absolutely sure, it's absolutely wrong. Always. I'm absolutely sure. I'll give it a try ... but not in the last 43 minutes of this day here. Maybe I'm lucky tomorrow and can watch a sunset instead of a storm. Would be a great help in terms of inspiration, although I already have something in mind. Damn, this idea developed fast. Oh, and Maximus1: I would be happy to mediate if you don't understand German (or those tricky dialects) provided you agree on one condition: No displays of your martial arts, please ... I'm trained in first aid, but I don't want to use this knowledge. | |

| Sun is nice and all...when it's not hitting me. My skin is rather pale, so I crisp up FAST(I'm part Irish). So I guess I prefer sunlight that filters through the clouds. Little bit of light, and a little bit of shade. All in all, not a bad deal to me. | |
