Seven O’clock Sunset

I love this time of year when summer has turned to fall, and the sun begins to set earlier and earlier.

I was in my office when I saw brilliant colors in the sky and went outside to capture them.

It was near 7:00 pm, so I squared the photos and am sharing them with #SevenforSeptember.

We’ll have 12 hours of daylight today, with sunrise at 6:55 am, sunset at 7:07 p.m.

Then we’ll march towards the shortest day of the year in December on the winter solstice, when the sun will rise around 8:00 and set by 4:30, bringing sunsets earlier and earlier for my viewing pleasure.

  1. I adore sunset and often step outside at that time. Days are getting so much shorter where I live (sadly).

  2. Lovely colours indeed. It was dark here last night by 7:15, but we had no nice colours to enjoy first. The evenings are going to start to feel very long now. No doubt I will be going to bed much earlier than I have been.

    Best wishes, Pete.

  3. Those clouds are beautiful! And yes, I guess the silver lining of the shorter days is having sunsets in the afternoon πŸ˜€

  4. I’m glad to see I’m not the only one enjoying earlier sunsets. Sometimes, I feel so alone amongst all those complaining about the night falling earlier and earlier.
