Composition “Sunset”


When the Little Prince from the fairy tale of Exupery lived on the asteroid B-612, he daily performed many serious and important work: hanging the baobabs that sprouted, cleared the volcanoes so that they burned smoothly and silently, sprinkled with spring water a beautiful rose. But he had one more favorite occupation – to enjoy the sunset. The king, the ambitious, the drunkard, and the businessman, whom the little prince met on other planets, would treat this occupation with contempt, considering it useless. However, the hero of Exupery thought differently, and we agree with him.

What makes the West beautiful? Probably, not only that allows you to watch pictures of extraordinary beauty. Time – that’s what’s important! We watch the sunset at the end of the day. What was the day like? Did he bring us joy or sorrow? We ourselves did a good deed for the benefit of others or, on the contrary, did a stupid thing, upset someone? Such thoughts do not come in

the morning: it is for hopes, plans. The day passes in cares, busy with affairs. When the sun goes over the horizon, sum up. This is the time of thinking about life, about the beauty and eternity of nature, about our place in it. It is not for nothing that this time of the day is closely connected with the mood of the soul, which inspired poets and artists. Lyrical poems call the Volga paintings of I. Levitan. Many of them reproduce the moment when the glare of the setting sun colors the sky and the quiet surface of the water (“The Evening: The Golden Reach”),

In summer, in Slavyanogorsk, I saw pictures of Levitan in real life, as if they had come to life. Surroundings of Slavyanogorsk are not in vain called Ukrainian Switzerland. Surprisingly beautiful places! In the evenings we sat on the porch of the house and admired the sunset. Below, above the river, it is already dark, and higher on a green background of the forest bright white spots stand out chalky rocks, the walls of the cathedral, churches, bell towers. The golden domes sparkle in the rays of the setting sun, and the blue bath of the bell tower seems to stretch towards the sky. You listen to the ringing, floating above the city, the forest, the river, and you think.

The first mention of the “Holy Mountains” dates back to 1526. How many events they saw. Centuries have passed, generations have changed each other, and nature and the eternal man created by the genius!
