There are times when we seek an escape from the day to day pressures and ups and downs that comprise our life.  Those times when we are seeking a moment's reprieve and can just will ourselves to disappear and get lost in something--anything--that will whisk us away from the cares of the world.

The image that I captured on 2/5/14 at the conclusion of a spectacular sunset display is just that.  It was the calm after the brilliance and dazzling array of colors that Mother Nature showcased in all Her Glory.  Those pictures will come later.  But for now, I offer you this single bit of an Escape that I have found along My Journey of Peace.  It is a photo that I have found that I can lose myself in over and over again.  I trust that it will help you in your journey as well.

Taking pictures at night gives you a different perspective on things.  The play of light and shadow come together to create a dance that is completely different than what you typically find during the day. Add to that the effects of the camera and you have your own set ways of "seeing" that bring about another path on the journey that you may not have discovered before.

I like watching things at night.  I like observing the shadows and the interplay of light and darkness.  There is so much more there.  Just because it is dark doesn't mean there is nothing to see.
