Russet Lips, by Suzette Richards - image generated 13 April 2023

the lips of sunset caress teal outcrop damp with anticipation ever speeding up and illuminating every last aspect however reluctantly as it has to relinquish its grip on reality and find blessed relief after the day’s toil to rest a final burst of colour in horizontal rainbow celestial cymbals herald the climax of the verismo whilst the setting sun reflects on how it squandered dawn

:) I still have not heard back from the photographer and rather than copyright infringement...

honestly, it doesn't give the same effect but I understand. This photo looks like someone who is about to be submerged with their mouth open. Just sayin

Hi Daniel, I've replaced the photo with one of my own. What do you think of the new one? :)

Thank you, Daniel. The photo was taken in Worcestershire, UK. I am waiting for the photographer's written permission to use it (otherwise it is plagiarism).
