Sunsets in Radelaide

Feb. 27th

Jezza is playing around on his laptop. I’m in the kitchen making tea. We’re waiting for Tristan at the house on the beach and then heading into Adelaide for their gig. The upstairs is very open with the west side entirely of windows facing the ocean.
I stop mid-pour as the sun – a perfect glowing circle – begins to lower toward the water.

“Oh man, Jez, check the sunset!”
“Yeah, Adelaide does sunsets pretty well.”
He looks out the window and, barely audibly, “Go, Adelaide.”

It’s maybe 10 minutes from the moment the sun came into the range of the windows until it was quite literally swallowed by the ocean, like a cartoon. Awe-struck, I didn’t move until a minutes after it disappeared.

Go, Adelaide.
