Scenic Sunday: Helios

For centuries, many people have been fascinated by the sun to the point where they worshiped it. In Greek Mythology, the sun is personified as Helios and sometimes, Apollo, the god of the sun. They said Helios was always imagined to be riding his chariot of the sun across the sky each day to signify the rise and setting of the sun.

Not only is sun worship mentioned in Greek Mythology but we can constantly see them all throughout ancient civilizations, the Mayans, the Aztecs, and the Egyptians. Up till now, the sun is still viewed as a source of life since all living things depend on the sun to grow.

I'm rambling again...hehehe but I still find ancient civilizations fascinating, but that is another story. You might be wondering why I'm gabbing about the sun and Helios, yes? Well, I am going to show you a few sunset photos that I took at the Santa Monica Pier last Thursday. I was experimenting with my camera's white-balance and had really interesting shots. Hope you like them!

The sunset is amazing, isn't it? I enjoyed it immensely.
