I could never, I thought, have managed such a task with anything like success. It was only today that I realized that all this last week I have been working on an textile piece called "Updraft!" Duh! It's easier to stitch air than it is to paint it. And yes, you may insert a smiley face right after that sentence. Birgit,

I saw a sunset from some rather large dunes in the vicinity and it was very nice. I guess that sometimes I will deal with the affect and the effect. Birgit:

Wikipedia has photograph of it. You give two very different images - nature and technology. Jay,

The sun might be dropping through clouds whose distance makes them gentle. The water and the sky meet at a place defined by a subtle shift in the glowing pinks and gunmetal grays. The air is palpable with light and with gulls moving in an easy conversation with the sky and the water. Otherwise I like to see smoke as it drifts through a laser beam. Kind of an air apparent.
