Sunset over Currituck Sound, North Carolina
This sunset saturates the water and air with a subtle fullness. The sea seems to be pregnant with its own depth. The air is filled with a hushed silence. The crickets suspended their symphony to honor the sun falling asleep under the watery covers.
This post is part of the Weekly Photo Challenge issued each Friday by WordPress (http://dailypost.wordpress.com/2013/09/27/photo-challenge-saturated/).
The Beauty Along the Road 
I like both images. Each has a meditative and serene quality.

Thank you, Sally. I resisted my impulse to really saturate the orange and blue because then that very quality of meditativeness and peacefulness gets lost in the colors.
