Sunset

Like glowing orange flames spreading over the sea,
etching the silhouette of the western hills,
making them stand out in the cloud mist surrounding them.
Layers of warm colours; a sweet pretty pink like cotton candy, orangey-red reminding me of blood oranges, the yellow of yolk, contrasting with the blue of the sky.
A few lone fishing boats visible in the distance,
fisherman bringing in their nets,
signalling the end of the work day.
The last seagulls circling in the air, looking for a late snack before settling in for the night.
In the east, the moon is already out, almost full.
Made me think of a round piece of cheese with holes in it and edges nibbled off by a hungry little mouse.
Taking in the picturesque image took my mind off being in a crowded bus, full of people eager to get home, rattling along on the uneven road.
