Water
Sunset over open sea
The sun goes into the water and the colour stays for an hour.
Erik Strand
On the west side of the island you can watch the sun set into the sea. No land in the way. It touches the horizon, flattens, and goes.
Then the show starts. Pink, then orange, then a deep blue that is almost green. The water copies everything the sky does.
Who watches
Couples, old men with dogs, a teenager filming on her phone. Nobody talks much. When the last colour goes we all walk back to our houses like we had been to the same concert.
