November Sunset

33 Comments

The sun starts to go down quite early now. I was out for my regular afternoon ramble and to my surprise – I really shouldn’t have been – saw the sun beginning its sink at 3:22 p.m. Given that we have mountains all around, we are totally dark by about 4:30. My, that really is early!

The sunset felt wintery, too. The thin, veil-like cloud, the slight chill from the wind and the tint of the sunset itself all contributed to that sense.

But it’s November. A little bit of a wait, but I’ll nevertheless soon be counting down to spring!

Happy Saturday.

    1. Thank you very much, Linda. Because we have mountains all around, the sun disappears behind them so much earlier. We have switched to standard time which means we have good light in the mornings though which I think is better especially where children are concerned. Cheers.

    1. We have switched to standard time and have lots of morning light, but with the mountains all around, the sun does disappear behind them quite early. I agree, the darkness does invite snuggling in and feeling cosy. Cheers.

    1. Thank you very much, Belinda. I think I might already be counting down but I’m trying not to think that way! I loved how warm the sun looked reflected on the lake but there’s still a chilly overtone. I guess we can’t escape that it’s November.

    1. Thank you very much. I agree, John. Nail the time down to standard and leave it there. We have switched from DSL to standard now and have lots of morning light which is so much better for people going to work and kids going to school. We do lose the sun early but that’s also partly because we’re in the mountains and the sun is so low in the sky. Cheers.

    1. Thank you very much. I like how you have described that, Allan; winter definitely is an intermission between autumn and spring. There’s still some warmth but it’s really beginning to look and feel winterish.

    1. Thank you very much Tricia. Of the two I like that one best also. Yes, winter is imminent. I hope it’s a more normal (not sure I know what that means any more though) one this time – lots of rain and cool but not cold temperatures. Our orchards and wine grapes need to survive!
