Delaware Bay, Cape May NJ, 2014. I do miss the ocean. Something about it on a warm evening with the sea breeze running over you.

@sullybiker This is stunning.

I've never seen an actual ocean, but I live by the sea and I get what you're talking about. That's basically the reason why I'm so reluctant to move. :)

@SeventhMagpie a fairly typical view from my regular strolls on the water front.

@SeventhMagpie Very, very occasionally you'd get a blood orange sunset. I only got a picture of it once, although this wasn't the best looking one I'd seen, but that time I didn't have a camera!

@sullybiker Ah, the colours of dawns and sunsets! :)

My grandfather, who was a sailor, taught me a... I don't know how this piece of sea wisdom is called, actually. 😆 Something like a proverb in a form of a short verse. :) It said some like: "When the sun is red in the evening, a sailor has nothing to fear. And when the sun is red in the morning, it doesn't sit well with a sailor."

@SeventhMagpie That sounds a little bit like 'Red sky at night, shepherd's delight, red sky in the morning, shepherd's warning'

@sullybiker Yes, it must be the same piece of wisdom, only for different professions. :)

@SeventhMagpie Right! It's so curious how that happens.

@sullybiker Some universal truths, I think. :) This has to do with weather predictions, which has always been important. Back when there were no weather forecasts, people had to notice things. :)
