Time For A Sundowner

Aye, Cap'n, The Sun's Gone Below The Yardarm

Photograph copyright: DAVID McMAHON


I shot this at dusk yesterday. As you would remember from the post The Sound of Silence, we had a very foggy start to our Saturday, but the sky cleared up in the afternoon. I got the camera out as soon as I saw the colour of this cloud band. It was an interesting dusk, because there was a normal-blue-grey sky below the cloud and also in the top right-hand corner of this frame.

All you need is a little bird, hungrily nibbling at the last berries....

A vision softly leaving, spread its rays while we were dozing.......amidst The Sounds of Silence.

Thank you Lin,

I simply had to get the camera out.

The sunset was interesting, but the silhouette of the tree really made the shot!

Keep smiling

This is beautiful - Nature makes for the best pictures :)

Hi Serendipity,

That is such an accurate statement. I once said, in a repl to a comment, that Nature created the panorama, but all I did was press the shutter to capture it.

Thanks for visiting and hope to see you back here.

Keep smiling

David
