This picture is a "Penny of the Universe" because just like a penny, even though it is something small and common, it still has value. There is always a sunset and they are easy to see; however, when you take the time to actually look at a sunset you truly take in its beauty. It is easy to get caught up in the lives that we live and everything around us, but the sunset provides people with the opportunity to just take a breath and take in the nature around them. When I saw this sunset one night all I could think about was how pretty it was so, naturally, I took a picture of it. By simply looking at the sunset I felt at peace and calm. It's nice to take the time to appreciate the nature that I am always surrounded by and exposed to everyday. When I see the sunset it simply reminds me that there are other beautiful sights within nature and that I miss them because I never slow down and look for them. I love this picture and it is always something that is nice to look back on because it always provides me with the opportunity to feel peace. Seeing beautiful things in nature also cause me to reflect on a lot of things. By silently observing the sights in nature, I usually start to think about things due to the fact that by realizing how I tend to let nature pass me by, I understand that I don't also want to miss out or fail to realize things that are happening in my life right now.
