A View From Our Window

The following photographs were taken from our apartment in West Palm Beach, Florida. Florida has great sunrises and sunsets, especially during the rainy season between May to October. Our hurricane season is from June to November, slightly behind the Summer rains.

Just below the horizon is Interstate 95 with travelers busily coming and going, totally unaware of the beauty of the sunset Denise and I have had the priviledge to enjoy.
