BEYOND THE SUNSET

Sunsets always captivate me.  Though not a rare commodity, its beauty and sheer magnificence speak to me and expand my soul in worship and thanksgiving of our Creator.  In all honesty, the older I get the more I appreciate each day and the more I enjoy each sunset.   I am always amazed of this daily phenomenon that whenever I travel or wherever I may be and have the chance to chase the sun with whatever camera  on hand, I always do so. 

As of to date, here are some of my favorite sunset photos.  Take a look at each and  read each caption and find out some  pieces of gems  I got from the sunsets!


Every night, sunsets just come and go.  Like childhood, they must be viewed with wonder and awe not simply because they are beautiful and amazing but because they're fleeting!

Sunsets never failed to amaze me.  How I wish I could be as amazing as the sunset and so do the other people!  The world perhaps  would be a much  better place to live in !

Even the most beautiful days in our lives eventually have their sunsets.  Let us savor  the special moments as we view every sunset we see.   For when the sun has set, not even the most expensive light bulb  nor a custom-made candle can ever replace it.  Not even the moon!

According to Camille Pissaro, blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.

The skies proclaim the works of His hands.  Truly, God makes the best art  displayed  in the biggest museum with no entrance fees!  It's a very special offer that so many people simply ignore .  Please don't  miss many of it!

In one of the legends, the sun loved the moon so much he died every night to let her breathe...  Couldn't it be one  of the reasons why the sunset is more colorful that a sunrise?  Love shows its true colors !  Also, it depicts an irony in life when good things happen not when you say  "Hello" but when you bid   "Goodbye!"

Always cap the day with  something beautiful and something good.    You may have shed  the tears all day long   but  in the end,  be sure to smile and rejoice and thank God for everything that you have received from Him, including all your pains and your sorrows.

What a great joy to see an endlessly changing horizon!  Do not waste any amount of time doing anything unimportant when there's a sunset that you should be sitting under and enjoy!

Let the warm glow of the setting sun kiss away all the hurts in life !   As  Ralph Waldo Emerson said, every sunset brings the promise of a new day !   Look at  the sunset , hope and dream . HOPE MORE and  DREAM BIG!

(Along Sunset View Avenue, Dapitan City, Zamboanga del Norte )



Every sunset has its own story to tell about the whole day that has passed. But no matter how worse a day has been, it keeps its inner fire burning  and  always make sure of a beautiful and dramatic exit.

Sunsets are like the promises of God.  Their beauty and truth  speak  loud and clear and are not empty.  They help you regain your perspective and find renewed strength no matter how  disorganized and chaotic the surroundings may be.

They say that beautiful sunsets need cloudy skies.  But too much cloud  will not permit a glorious  exit for the sun.  May there be just enough clouds in your life to create a breath-taking sunset that will inspire everyone  who will see it . . .

How I wish I could look at people as marvelous just like the way I look at a sunset.  There's no intent to control or to change  but to simply watch it with awe as it unfolds.

While we are enjoying the promise of a new dawn a sunset brings,  the other part of the world is enjoying their hopeful sunrise!  Truly GOD is awesome!

What is the best thing about the sunset?  Nothing beats the joy of watching the sunset and spending its magical moments with your FOREVER!

(Joe and Rein  in Manila Bay, Mall of Asia side ) 


Every sunset is ONE DAY LESS to live by and brings us nearer to our ultimate goal.  However, it also gives us ONE DAY MORE to hope for another amazing sunrise.

(By the beach at Nasugbu, Batangas )





But what is our ultimate goal?  What really lies beyond the sunset?

A BLISSFUL MORNING.... with our Saviour . . . as the song goes!

I hope you enjoyed chasing the sun with me.  Have a nice day and thank you for visiting my site !
