Softly the evening came...


'Softly the evening came with the sunset' ( H W Longfellow)  

I've mentioned before that from my house I can't really see the western sky, so I hardly notice whether or not there is a pretty sunset. There was, however, one evening recently where I suddenly realised that the whole house was tinted pink from the light coming through the windows. It was both beautiful and a little weird. Looking east, where I can see the sky through trees, I could see everything was suffused with a glorious pinky-purple hue. I've seen other people's photos of the same night's western sky and realise I missed a very spectacular sunset, but even the reflected glory that I observed was amazing.

  1. What a gorgeous colour! The sun at this time of year shines straight into my eyes in mid-afternoon where I usually sit so I've generally closed the curtains before sunset and often miss the show.

  2. I have the same problem from my house. Have never had the pink experience. It's more often ORANGE in my house. Kind of stunning.
