Evening Edged in Gold


Stadtpark
in the vaning
evening light

Sundown
The sun has fallen below the horizon,
yet the young leaves hold on to the light.

A few minutes earlier,
these lampholders were illuminated
by the setting sun's rays.

One more gilded leaf,
then darkness sets in.

  6. Those golden leaves must give off quite a glint when the shine hits them just right. Beautiful.

  8. I think the most beautiful light is early evening. It's calming, soothing, reflective and you captured it wonderfully, Merisi! Such talent you have. :D

  10. Thank you all for your kind comments! :-)

    STEPH,
    I shall investigate,
    now that I know which tree I have to look for!
    Googling, I found a "Serbian Spruce" - Picea omorika - could be it. We'll see!
