'A photograph of a summer's day, a little boy's lifetime away'

I see that it's Father's Day back in the US (and in other parts of the world, though not here in Germany), and, without wanting to be a downer or anything, it occurred to me that this year will mark 25 years since my own father died.

Can it really be that many years?

Which led me to taking a long look at this photo, taken probably in 1971, of us together in the driveway of one of those various places I still think of as 'home'.

Which led me to this song.

Red sky at night...

This picture does only rudimentary justice to the beauty of the sunset currently going on in front of our house.

But even so, I thought it was worth sharing.

Wishing you all a good Wochenende.
