In the wilderness
I sojourn as a pilgrim,
bathed in holy fire.

That is a beautiful sky! Great colour.
Great photo and a suiting haiku!
Wow, that’s an absolutely stunning shot! When we go on vacation in the summer, we stay at a cottage on the lake, and I take hundreds of sunset pictures, in the hopes of getting just one great shot!
Happy REDnesday,
Carol
This is beautiful – The photo and haiku go together perfectly.
the title is as beautiful as the image
‘a holy fire’ in the wilderness….perfect combo of words and image…
gorgeous sky! Norma Ruttan Come visit my blog at… http://scrappygrams.blogspot.com

I don’t think I’d care to bathe in any kind of fire, myself… lovely haiku and beautiful picture!
That is an amazing picture! The haiku really compliments it.
Gorgeous capture!! Like “bathed in Holy Fire”
Stunning shot!
This is a beautiful sunset. Thank you too for the contribution to FineCraftGuild.com . Your comments are always welcome.
Btw when using those circular cards, making friendship bracelets is a breeze, even for 5 year olds and those with all thumbs!

Yes, a pretty picture, a magical sunrise. Greetings.
A mystical, spiritual poem to go with your fabulous photo
when I was growing up in Borneo, red skies mean people are burning the jungle.
This image absolutely, without a doubt, takes my breath away!!!!!
I will not question
Your faith in God. You can
His light in the dawn.

Yes right out of the camera and perfect. Sojourning is graced with such blessings. Glad to see you on yet another of Tina’s challenges.
Stunning!
One does feel special when you get to behold such a scene. Nature is perfect.
beautiful, always found dawn to be a sacred time in nature
Beautiful sunrise. I like the way that the lighting makes the mountains in the background look purple. Like in the song…”for purple mountains’ majesty…”
