This is the kind of photograph that makes me wish I could permanently "check-out" from life's incessant pressures, move to this hilltop and watch the sun set until the end of my days. It's interesting that the final scenes of the Sawshank Redemption (1994) were filmed near the fishing pangas, as those scenes are a perfect example of what I mean by "checking-out." In that film, Andy Dufresne, in a letter to his friend Red, said this: "Remember Red, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies." Not all of life is ugly, difficult and short, only most of it. Perhaps, just perhaps, heaven really is our destination, and one day -- some day -- the horrors of the human race will sink into some black hole at the edge of the universe (or some other universe) never to be seen or heard from again.
