Reading Time: 3 minutesThe first time you watched a sunset, you were still. No camera. No distractions. Just your eyes, the sky, and a quiet kind of awe. The colors melted into each other like something out of a dream and you thought to yourself, “I’ll never forget this.” But the next time, you took a photo.
