"Good night"


Sunsets seem to have a mystical quality, that sense of liminality that creates lighting breathtaking to the photographer. Only during that limbo period between day and night can the soft colors of flowers, grasses, clouds, smiles, really be emphasized and experienced. The history, too, of this tree post is clearly conveyed as the sun sets. Its old wrinkles of time are ruggedly defined against its gentle surroundings. Our whole days are summed up in those few moments of the setting sunshine, good night to the day and good day till tomorrow.
