Thanksgiving sunset

This is the sunset on Thursday, November 24th, Thanksgiving evening, at 5:10 pm reflected in the eastern sky. The intense colors were much more colorful that the sunset in the west that night.  There were no shapes of clouds, just color reflected onto the atmosphere.


Here's a poem by Lee Rudolph that seems appropriate for a Thanksgiving of intense sunset color (it could be fog!). It is called "Little Prayer in November":


That I am alive, I thank
      no one in particular;
and yet am thankful, mostly,
although I frame no prayer

      but this one: "Creator
      Spirit, as you have come,
come again", even in November,
on these short days, fogbound.
