26 December, 08: Christmas Eve sunset


Sunset on Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve I joined Cath, Ryan and members of their congregation for a communal picnic on the lawn outside the church. Eats were followed by hearty carol singing to Pastor Theo's guitar. With his characteristic wide smile, he chatted to the children about the great Star which had guided the wise men to the little King born in Bethlehem so long ago.



While he talked, we enjoyed our own spectacular Christmas sunset on a mild, cool and tranquil evening after days of intense heat. A perfect image for a Christmas Skywatch.

    Hi! Thanks for visiting my blog. It doesn't look to me like you need any photo lessons. Your pics look great to me! You have some awesome subjects in the whole page here, too, with your sky, garden, family and friends.

    Merry Christmas!

    Ah yes, this looks like Christmas to me. In fact, I'm sure that the first Christmas was more like our weather than our snowy friends like to think!
