Lighter nights and warmer weather make it possible to take a stroll in the early evening. I don't do it nearly as often as I could (should) but, when I make the effort, I'm rewarded with a rather different view of familiar scenes. The canal, currently low in water and rather sluggish, was covered in masses of seeds and pollen, so that even the water looked golden in the low sunlight. They are talking of having to close it to boats because of the lack of water. Those in the know seem to be moving to their chosen berths. I saw the hotel boat Lady Teal coming through Saltaire the other day, perhaps keen to get back to its home mooring in Burnley.
The light just catching the trees made them look like they could be the portal to another world.
That golden light is truly special, it really makes everything look enchanted!
ReplyDeleteI've heard it called the golden hour. I love seeing how that particular light touches everything and changes colors to gold. Yes to portals...a hopeful other world...in my dreams anyway.
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful light.
