One tree

I left work early today, just after 4pm, so that I could fit in a swim before I saw Dan and Abi. I know the sun goes down early at this time of year but I can never quite believe how early and I found myself driving through the gloaming: sun down but still (kind of) daylight.

I wanted to take a photo but I was on a tight schedule and there was nowhere to pull over that afforded a decent view, so I waited until I got to Whoop Hall (where I swim).

In the twenty minutes it took me to drive there, the twilight had all but dissipated and I was left with this last wash of yellow, orange and blue above the hills while the ground before me had already surrendered to the night.
