SUNSET AND A CONCLUSION

We arrived at the beach at about 6.30 in the evening. My cousin parked the car under a tree and we got out.

The smell of the sea was unmistakable. A gentle breeze blew. I step out my sandals onto the soft sand, like i was in heaven.

My cousin, two of my friends and i had come to the seaside just to watch the sun set. My cousin assured us that we would not be disappointed for he had seen it setting before and he said it was beautiful. We just had to see for our own.

We sat on the sand and gazed at the western horizon. White and grey clouds began to change colour.

First they took on orange hues. Then the shades of red and yellow could be seen. In the short time the whole western sky seem to be ablaze with splash of gold, red ,orange and yellow. I gazed at the spectacle in wonder. What a magnificent sight it was! I tired to focus on a particular part of the colourful scene but I found that the colours were constantly changing. They changed very slowly and subtly although the scene appeared very still. A streak of gold here turned yellow and a splash of red there dissolved into hues of orange. It was quite impossible to describe really this great wonder of nature in action.

Shortly the hues became darker and hits of black were visible. The sun slowly sink into the sea. However the sky remained reddish even though the sun could no longer be seen.

Suddenly, everything was dark. The sun had set and night took over. I became aware of mosquitoes attacking me. My cousin said it was time to go home.

We got into car. Indeed the sunset had been a wonderful experience. At that day, I had a conclusion that is --wonderful time is just a second, so we must appreciate it. Don't let it pass away in a meaningness way~~~~~
