Fall’s Early Twilight
I went outside after sunset last night and saw the moon surrounded by lavender and violet. It was only 5:00 p.m.
By 5:15 the colors moved west settling behind nearby trees,
before disappearing from view.
I love early fall sunsets but not the early darkness that follows.

Very nice, Susanne.
It is dark by 4 pm here now, with no nice colours beforehand.
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks Pete. 🙂 You’re even earlier than us! Sunset here is happening around 4:40 and I just happened to notice the lovely colors around 5:00.
Winter starts early here. It’s bleak! 🙂
Won’t be long before it is dark just after 3:30!
Yikes! We’re marching toward early sunsets here around 4:15 in the darkest days of winter… And when it becomes almost unbearable, spring will return!
How soon we forget the long light evenings…
Lovely pics.
Thank you. 🙂
The purple is splendid. We only get a peek at the sunset from our home, but I cherish the display of colors too.
I was so happy to see the purple colors. I hadn’t even realized till I happened outside that the sun had already set.
Best to overlook how early evening is arriving.
Just look at those beautiful colours! Winter weather starts early in Ireland and while we rarely get extreme temperatures it’s the dampness that’s the joy killer, that’s why we cherish every moment of colourful sunsets
Thank you! I wonder if our climates are similar. We’re pretty damp here in Seattle too from November to April! 🙂
Love, love, love the purple!! And the silhouettes of the trees! Awesome photos!
Aw thanks so much! I was happy to see those beautiful colors! 🙂
Nice shot, love it specially before the sun sets..
