Sunset

June 5th

Upon returning from Victoria, BC, preparations for the Monterey trip began. However, there was also a glorious sunset, so I just had to take a picture!

Sunset's golden glow, as seen from my backyard, looking east

Looking east, the shadow of the trees to the west is creeping up these trees. Although they appear to be a golden colour, these trees are actually green, but that setting sun is a very powerful source.

And these are the trees casting the shadow above, as they enjoy the last rays of the sun for that day. These trees are both a delight and a curse. On a hot summer's day (and we get a few of those!), they block the sun from the yard about 6PM, helping it to cool off. However, if there's any sort of breeze, it tends to become rather too cool for me to sit out with just a tee shirt on.
