Memories

Tonight we got to spend some time with my extended family. I had a good time – it kind of got me thinking about memories I had of good times and beautiful moments. It got me thinking about a sunset a few years ago.

This was probably the most amazing sunset I have ever seen, and I am very fortunate to have taken a picture. I love how the sky and clouds reach down into the water, with only the trees to suggest a horizon.

The river is the Amazon, near the city of Iquitos in Peru. I spent 2 months in Peru as part of a short-term missions internship in 2003 with Mission to the World.
