In these turbulent days around the globe, it is important to have time for quiet reflection, no matter where you are. Sunset is a good opportunity for this. Here is a photo taken by Julie Wrigley this summer in Alaska. Below, Bill McDowell comments on the quiet healing of Alaska.
“Our return to our normal routine has been daunting. Being removed from every day life for the past four and a half months in Alaska has been a game changer. I replaced all of the Television sets on the boat and much to my surprise we never turned them on! Being removed from news and everything we called normal was exciting. I was able to read three books which I had not done in twenty years. We were able to spend time with the local people in small groups and learn about their lives and experiences. I was able to take days to photograph whales and sea otters 🦦 without any difficulty because we had no guests for the whole time. Julie so enjoyed the experience that she stayed longer and didn’t want it to end.”
We are fortunate at Hualalai to have both sunsets and sunrises that give us the impetus to pause as we survey Nature’s beauty.
Becky Holman photographed the sunrise on Tuesday this week, then painted it. Breathtaking!
