Red Sails in the Sunset

"Sunsets on the Chesapeake Bay are a bonus that comes with living at Westminster Canterbury. 

You can watch them from the dining room, the sea wall, your apartment window or balcony and you can't beat the panoramic view of a sunset from the Penthouse Lounge.

No two sunsets are alike.  Poet, artists, photographers all strive to capture the pyrotechnics of the sun when it is setting.  And they all realize the limitations of their chosen medium.

Mother Nature does sunsets best and she doesn't need any help from us.  But, just once, I'd like to see what Bing Crosby was singing about Red Sails in the Sunset.  I'd like to see a boat with bright red sails, come into the bay just as the sun drops below the Bay Bridge.  I don't think Mother Nature would be insulted."
