Caribbean Cruise - Part 10

Well........this is it. I was heading home. I had been island hopping on a cruise ship and we headed north through the Sargasso Sea. I don't quite understand why it is called that.......as far as I knew, this is the Atlantic Ocean........heading through the Bermuda Triangle again.

And there was this brief portion of time where the water got eerily calm. No waves......hardly a swell........and a strange blue..........unsuual horizon. Could this be?.......................

I don't know about this.......I cannot explain it...........and you gotta know this was spooky. I looked around and it did not seem that others had noticed this........maybe they were too busy.

I was waiting for what I always anticipate when I am on vacation in these parts................the sunset.

Each time the sun would set, I would get a bit excited........waiting for that ever changing explosion of eye candy. God's artwork at it again...........and it is all a part of a well designed process.

Every time you look away and then look back at it again, it looks different.......a new work of art. Times like this.....I can only hope my camera can capture some of what I can see. Somehow, it is just not the same as being there.

The ocean becomes dark and the colors in the distance are more intense.........and you want to be closer to it. So I zoom in with the camera to help me see it closer...............

.........and it was like Mars..........reds and orange hues.............brilliant.......just awesome.

People can say what they will about going on a cruise........and I have said much right here on this blog...........but if you went on a cruise and did not give a hoot about Vegas stage show entertainment, casinos, pools, beaches and assorted ports of call, food food and more food, music, art auctions, dancing, parties, bingo,...........whatever.............there are certain things that are more than worth the price of a cruise to the Caribbean.........and that happens to be the stuff that mankind had no hand in making............such as the sunsets.

And you want it to stay like that.

Merry Christmas Everyone!
