Blue Sunset and Endings


This was today's sunset, above, 5:15 pm:  the sky dramatically blue, the lake smoothly glazed.


Just two days ago, the sunset was full of gold and amber and orange, 
the lake newly frozen and snow-covered:



I am proofreading the first-pass page proofs for the upcoming book,
thinking about endings.

Is my ending blue or amber?

Hmm.  Amber, I think.

Of the books you read, are they more likely to have blue or amber endings?  Mm?

  3. Beautiful pics!

    I like both blue and amber endings, but I do find it helpful to be a little prepared. I read "Love That Dog" on an Amtrak train and was a little embarrassed to be sobbing into my Kleenex...

  5. I love amber endings, but the blue picture is gorgeous. I am a permanent member of the Sunset Club. Tonight it was followed by a harvest. moon.

  6. That's a pretty dynamic blue sunset on the lake shore. I like to be surprised... I can deal with the blue and amber. Can endings be blue-amber?

  7. If the ending in the book is as rich as the depth of color displayed in these photos, it will, without a doubt, be perfection.

    Ambers draw me in but deep blues compel me to linger.

  8. The endings on both books I am reading or nearly finished reading, Kennedy by Chris Matthews and Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson have white endings.
