One of those moments

That's very hard to describe, but i'll try. Last night i climbed to the roof-top patio of my hotel to watch the sunset over the city. My building is one of the tallest in the town, so i had a 360 degree view of the city, ocean and moutains. There was a layer of clouds above me, but there was also a large gap for the sun to shine through close to the horizon (perfect sunset conditions). A small sprinkle of rain created a beautiful rainbow in the distance. As i watched the sun go down, luminating a red african sky, a flock of birds took flight. The moment the sun set, all the mosques in town broadcast prayers from the towers. It was really amazing hearing chants from every direction, ending another day of sun over the dark continent. Ok, tried my best...

You did a pretty good job painting both a visual and a auditory picture of that for me! Keep it coming! H
