Evening lights at Mallory Square

People are sitting at the pier and waiting for the sunset...

while in the mean time all the sunset cruisers are leaving the harbor.

The Liberty Clipper just finished setting up the sails

for sailing into the setting sun.
Last night was not a spectacular sunset at all, like the nights before.
The sky was free of clouds and in a cold winter color of orange and yellow.

Sunset Sailors - Song from the Ship

Sunset Sails

Song from the Ship - Thomas Lovell Beddoes

To sea, to sea! The calm is o'er;
The wanton water leaps in sport,
And rattles down the pebbly shore;
The dolphin wheels, the sea-cows snort,
And unseen Mermaids' pearly song
Comes bubbling up, the weeds among.
Fling broad the sail, dip deep the oar:

To sea, to sea! the calm is o'er.
To sea, to sea! our wide-winged bark
Shall billowy cleave its sunny way,
And with its shadow, fleet and dark,
Break the caved Tritons' azure day,
Like mighty eagle soaring light
O'er antelopes on Alpine height.
The anchor heaves, the ship swings free,
The sails swell full. To sea, to sea!

Just another Sunset in Paradise

It's just another simple and wonderful sunset - seen at Mallory Square, where I'm selling my photography to tourists from all over the world. They come every evening down to the pier to see and to celebrate this spectacular sensation. This is the only place I know of where you can combine your work with a lot of fun.
