View of Oswego Harbor from a bench in Breitbeck Park, Oswego, New York.

The weather was hot and humid. The air hazy and thick. The Sun was setting before the horizon in a dull red ball. The sky was bland with little color. Kind of dirty looking. I was about to give up when I noticed a plaque on the back of the bench I was sitting on. It read:
From the slope on the hill, I gaze upon the lake below
Peaceful, lonesome, and still
As the evening sun shines down
The bench was dedicated In Loving Memory of Raymond and Lillian McCloskey. Suddenly, the view got a lot better.

Very cool! That’s my parents’ memorial bench. I searched for just the right words for the plaque. Thank you for enjoying it!

It is a lovely sentiment and fit the evening. While not a good time for photography, it was a good time to let those words change my attitude towards it.

Isn’t it a wonder how a few well placed words can give us a whole new way of looking at the world? What an inspiring spot to come each day to watch the sun go down. Thanks for writing them Lisa and thanks for sharing them Scott.
