"Since I can't photograph this, I will tell you about the beautiful sunsets here: Late in the day, the sun falls as gently as midnight snow, bathing everything in golden syrup. For a few minutes, the white horse behind my house is a glowing, mythical creature. Then the sun kisses the top of the purple mountain with pink and red and orange, and slides down its back slowly, a lover's goodnight."

I don't usually wax poetic, but...
Here are a few of my favorite illustrations:
