As I stepped outside on a balcony filled with people I barely knew, I noticed the grace and power of the sunset as it silhouetted a beautiful building in downtown Winona, Minnesota. The clouds behind the building streaked across the sky creating contrast and making the sun seem as if it were a  gradient. The setting sun was the calming and soothing anchor that started several conversations that night as people continued to come to the balcony to drink their champagne.
