366 Days of 2012, Day 319 - Afterglow

How many sunsets are enough sunsets?

One answer might be 'at least another billion years worth'. The following 4 billion years after that will see the earth slowly steamed and the oceans boiled dry. After another 2 billion years of being torched as a red giant our sun will finally burn out into the afterglow of a white dwarf which will last trillions of years as it fades to black. Quite a lot really.

For now I am content to experience and photograph the beautiful orange sunsets which are 'just right'.
