Sunset from the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway

IMG_7510

After our time in the boat, in the swamps in Slidell, we decided to take the Lake Pontchartrain Causeway back to the French Quarter and enjoy the sunset from the bridge. We couldn't have timed it better!

No matter which way I looked the view was phenomenal!

The Causeway, consists of two parallel bridges crossing Lake Pontchartrain, the longer of the two bridges is the seventh-longest in the world and the second-longest over water, measuring 23.87 miles (38.42 km) long.

forever

Watching the sunset over Lake Pontchartrain I feel like I can see forever!  For a moment my world is suspended - I don't move, I don't breathe, I just am - in forever.

We timed our crossing of the 24 mile bridge perfectly to watch the sun fade from the sky. Everywhere I looked were glorious colors, water and nothing else. Divine!

Seriously?

I was reminded, by the swiftly painted sunset, to not take life too cirrusly.

we found cancer

We "need" cancer because, by the very fact of its incurability, it makes all other diseases, however virulent, not cancer. ~ Gilbert Adair

October 18th will never be just another day for me.  That is the day that I heard the words, "We found cancer".  That is the day my life fell apart, and indeed, the day I began to rebuild it.

ups and downs

A sunset so full of color can help to distract from the roller coaster of emotions associated with a serious illness.  The vividness brings with it a heart full of hope!

This is my first time participating in Skywatch Friday.  I had opportunity to enjoy the sunset on Washington Island recently.  I hope you enjoy it too. :)

Sunset on the lake

PhotoStory Friday
Hosted by Cecily and MamaGeek

Yes, the ground is now white in my neck of the woods and will remain so for many months, but I just discovered a folder of photos I never got around to sharing so I will be throwing some from warmer days in for a while.

So, there I was waiting for the boat to come to shore and take me out and I thought the sky was really pretty.

It didn't take long for the sun to start setting. These two photos were taken 13 minutes apart. Amazing!

And 9 minutes later it was still beautiful! It was chilly out there, but I imagine now that lake is frozen, and unboatable.  So here's to remembering warmer days and reminding myself they will come again.
