My neighbor and I were discussing last night how difficult it is to describe some of the Melaque sunsets to our familiy and friends.
It goes beyond mere perception -- the fact that most of what we think we see is modified by our individual brains. Sometimes, people simply cannot conceive some of the colors we experience each night.
A perfect example is the yellow sky we see only during this time of the year. Most tropical sunsets are famous for their reds. Melaque's best color is almost a canary yellow.
I took the photograph at the top of the post last July when I visited the area. I knew nothing of the yellow sunsets. All I knew was the display was stunning.
The sky turned yellow, but so did the reflection on the ocean -- and on the sand.
Those skimboard lads looked as if they were about to sail off over a large bowl of lemon gelatin -- the veritable Mexican treat.
Melaque is certainly not paradise. But it has its moments. And sunsets like this are some of the best.
