When Is Light Not Light?

You Can't Beat Real Organic Light

It’s hard to believe that we’re only a month away from fall.  This summer has flown by and we’re losing daylight like crazy.  In the past week, we’ve lost 7 minutes.  That’ll keep going, too.  Our sunset is now at 8:12 PM.

Here in the UK we’re moving towards Autumn. If you’re an early riser like me you’ll feel a little nip in the air, see condensation on cars and notice it’s not quite as light. If you’re especially sensitive you would have been able to smell the seasons change a few weeks ago.

A Sunset

I have an older sunset to offer – interesting due to the cloud formation. OK – sunsets are common but hey – every one is different! Have uploaded a pic – seems it is in gallery – not sure how to link or display! (edit by TT: Gallery uploaded!)

#gallery-1 { margin: auto; } #gallery-1 .gallery-item {

#gallery-1 .gallery-caption {

One of many satisfying sunsets
