A snapshot captured as I rode back from a civil war battlefield today – the first day of 2012. Sunset with rainbow is quite unusual in the first place and a sunset with a rainbow the first day of the new year is even more unusual. The prosaic would call it a nice, unusual sunset on the first day of the year. The romantic sentimental might see it as a herald of a good and special year. Either way it was a few minutes of elusive magic – live poetry – and I do prefer the latter way of viewing it.

May you all be happy and brave 2012. With an unusual amount of shimmering, magic moments.
