caribbean sunset
The sun sets, and the beautiful Caribbean sunset is replaced by a dark and starless sky.
Something had changed. The beautiful, near-perfect in their light blue hues, the stars came out brighter, and the sky turned a deeper shade of orange, signaling the beginning of the end.
Where the beautiful sunshine dimmed, the pitch-black sky took its place. The night was already enwrapping the landscape. The stars were beginning to fade and, as they did, a long bar of orange-yellow light rose slowly in the sky. The sight was both awe-inspiring and strangely mesmerizing.
This is the sunset of the day. It is not the sunset of the night. To understand that, you have to realize that the horizon is not one thing but a line, and it is that line that divides day from night.
As the sun sets, the western sky brightens with oranges, yellows, and white, gradually giving way to the dark blue sea of night. The Caribbean landscape begins to take on the appearance of night. Skies at this time of year are so often cloudless that even the brightest setting sun can appear to almost disappear as the light dims into the twilight.

The comfort of a bedroom, cozy and clean, a lovely bed with furniture
The first thing you notice when you enter a bedroom is the comfort. The thick, soft sheets; the warm, golden light; the gentle hum of a ceiling fan; the quiet moment after a long day; the security of knowing your room is waiting for you when you return home; the sense of peace and quiet; the quiet, secret space where you can be alone and think; the quiet, private space where you can be with your loved one and share a quiet moment together; the quiet, silent space where you can be alone and think, without the noise and distractions of the outside world; the quiet, unobtrusive space where you can be alone and think, without the noise and distractions of the outside world.
