Can you describe the most beautiful morning or night you've seen?

Question

I woke up the other night and opened my bedroom window. It was late and there wasn't a sound, there was that smell of warmth in the air and it was as still as it was quiet. The moon was so bright you would have thought it full, but it was a large crescent and sat on the horizon, making it a rich deep yellow. There weren't any clouds, and the sky was that sort of blue/grey colour, sprinkled with thousands of stars. It was really romantic. Have you ever seen a night or morning like it?

Thanks for all the lovely well thought out descriptions that were posted, I can't decide so I'll leave it up to the Yahoo community.

Answer 1

West if Ireland a few years back, looking at the sun set over Mizzen Head.

Answer 2

a few years ago about 2 in the morning it was very dark and clear out. Not hardly any clouds in the sky. And there were so many shooting stars it was beautiful. There was a meteor shower going on and it was the first time I witnessed such a thing. Many people came out of their dorm rooms to stand or sit in the grass with a blanket just to look up at the sky. I saw a shooting star once before as a kids but it happened so quick then. But this was actually a good amount of time and to see the darkness of the sky, with the shooting glittery stars was so beautiful. almost surreal. It was like one of those moments where you stare into space and wonder if there are any other life forms somewhere. Then I got really sleepy and came inside and went to sleep.

Answer 3

I've enjoyed several, and they're all the same scenario......quietly putting my boat into the water about 4:30 in the morning in early to mid-April. Powered by my electric motor, skimming across the water to a favorite fishing spot, and putting out the anchor. It's just starting to get light, the birds begin to chirp, an owl gives his final hoots of the night and the ducks along the shoreline start their quacking and splashing. After a bit, the sun barely sneaks a peek through the trees and sets it's golden rays on the opposite sides of the lake. As it rises into the morning sky it's sunshine gradually marches across the opposite shore and up through the fields. Somewhere, on a hillside nearby, a old tom-turkey lets out a ground shaking gobble, telling the world that he's king of his domain. The fish are beginning to feed and there are little ripples of their activity. Oh, that's right, that's why I'm here, and I pick up my pole and cast a plastic worm towards that sunken stump, hoping to say good-morning to a seven pound largemouth bass.
But, the catching of the fish is just the icing on the cake....just being out there is the prize. I'm enjoying north-central Pennsylvania.

Answer 4

When I was eight years old, I had just moved to a new home on the outskirts of town. It was a country-like setting; it was so isolated. But one evening I was staring out at the first stars that had appeared, and it seemed like the whole sky lit on fire before me within a matter of seconds. The glowing golden sun was slowly sliding down the sky, leaving lacy streaks in the most beautiful hues. The lightness of the sky cast an ethereal glow across my face, and I sat in its warmth, just watching in reverence until it set.

Answer 5

In 1978, in Eureka, California we noticed a strange golden light coming through the window at sunset. The sun was on the horizon and lighting up the underside of the overcast sky. The clouds in the west were a radiant golden color, while the rest of the sky was blood red. The hills in the east looked like they had huge tongues of fire leaping up from them. The clear sky near the sun was the deepest, darkest blue anyone had ever seen.

Answer 6

I went to Ireland 6 years ago, when I was in first grade. I remember the morning so vividly. We took a drive through the fields and then we came upon this lake which was right by a huge hill. In the lake was the reflection of the hill. I took a picture of it and its definetly a sight to see.

Answer 7

I am a Vietnam Vet. During the time I spent there almost every sun rise/set was spectacular.

There was so very much crap in the atmosphere. Everything from dust stirred up by explosions to all that burned fuel. The combined garbage suspended in the air enabled one to look, from something very ugly, toward something very beautiful.

Answer 8
