In the cool of the evening

At the end of a long, hot day, an evening walk as the sun goes down hits the spot. I even had to wear a light jacket! Here's the sun setting over Oyster Bay, as it developed. 

From the parking lot, looking Northwest, over the meadow. 8:30 PM.

From the outer shore. More or less North-northwest. 8:43 PM.

8:52. Still walking the outer shore. Northwest by north

9:08. From the dike, looking over the inner bay. The tide is low, so there's mud. 

9:12. Turning my back on the sun, to watch the swallows chasing mosquitoes far above.


And the last gasp of the light. 9:20 PM.

And sunset, with no trees to shield the sun, was at 9:36 PM. that day. By the time I'd returned to the meadow, all that was left was a warm orange haze on the clouds.

Another Skywatch post.

Al final de otro dia caluroso, se antoja un paseo mientras se pone el sol. ¡Hasta me tuve que poner una chaqueta ligera! Aquí el final del dia visto desde Oyster Bay.

Fotos:
  1. Mirando hacia el noroeste sobre la pradera, desde el estacionamiento. A las ocho y medio.
  2. Saliendo a la playa exterior, miraba hacia el norte-noroeste. Las 8:43.
  3. 8:52. Volviendo un poco más hacia el oeste.
  4. Las 9:08, ya desde el dique, mirando sobre la laguna interior. Con la marea baja.
  5. Olvidando el sol por un momento, le volví la espalda para mirar las golondrinas cazando mosquitos. Las 9:12.
  6. Y ya mero desaparece el sol. 9:20 PM.
La puesta del sol oficial — si no hubiera árboles para impedir la vista — era a las 9:36 ese dia. Ya para cuando llegué otra vez a la pradera, lo único que quedaba era un tinte anaranjado en las nubes.

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!
