Sky Watch Highland Park


sunset

The week following a wedding Orthodox Jews celebrate by hosting the bride and groom at Sheva Brachot (means 7 blessings, referring to the seven blessings one says to wish the bride and groom well). Last night, the chasan (groom) and kallah (bride) were running late; she had an early evening faculty meeting, and then they both got stuck in traffic. So while we were waiting for the party to begin, I stood on the hosts’ porch and took these sunset photos.

You can learn more about the wedding from MalkaEsther.

Leora: Love the pink in your clouds in the Sky, very pretty.

I didn't have any problems but there are schools in the city that still don't have power.

Goes to prove there is beauty out there everywhere, finding the time to stop and enjoy or photograph is often the tricky part.

Thanks for sharing this lovely view of the horizon and your kind comments on my post earlier.
