Beautiful, looks like dusk, my favorite time of day.

As the sun began to set, the swimmers came on shore and stood in a line on both sides of Williams and linked arms. In the last five minutes, as the sun moved toward the horizon, the mourners stood in silence, watching and embracing.

You know, I had to come back here and say that I'm so happy about that whole throwing-themselves-happily-into-the-ocean thing... it looks like such a happy spontaneous tribute to a great, rich life lived to the max and defiance of death, darkness and sadness.
They're moving on to mainly celebrating remembered joy and light and happiness, instead of grieving the loss. I just can't thank them enough for doing that, and letting us share it through images. It eases my heart a lot.
Here are a batch of more pictures from the beach - they are absolutely lovely so do have a look (I don't like grabbing others' pictures so I'm just posting the links).

And here's another lovely one of Michelle:

I also saw a news account saying that during the memorial Michelle read Shakespeare's sonnet no. 18, so I had to re-aquaint myself with the full text of that one. Here it is, and it's just so fitting:
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.

Many lovely photos from the beach at this link. Including a couple where you see guests and also the vivid horizon with the sun sinking into the sea.
