The hints of pink at the top of the hills are snowy mountain peaks on the mainland, lit by a full moon.

It gets dark early these days, here at the 50th parallel north. Driving home this afternoon, I had to stop near Oyster Bay to look at the moon. It was only a few minutes after 5 o'clock. Sunset was at 4:27 PM.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.
Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!

Oh, that's lovely! Interestingly, though you are 10 degrees further north than me (near New York), you must be a lot further west in your time zone, as your sun only sets 7 minutes before mine. Which got me looking, and your sunrise is 54 minutes later. yikes.
ReplyDeleteWe are on a short vacation down in Los Angeles and I'm surprised that it starts getting dark at about 5:30. When I lived here ten years ago I don't remember the days getting that short. And we have a little less than a month before the shortest day. The hours of direct sun at the cabin will get down to about two hours on December 21. But then it's all uphill from there. - Margy
