We went for a sunset walk...turned into a dusk walk, Roamin in the Gloamin as they say!!
When you go where there are no street lights, you realise how light what you assumed to be dark, is.
Then you walk back through a scheme with street lights and house lights and realise how much they all miss.
No comments on the politics. Just a plague on all their houses. And as ever companies and governments selling armaments to both sides.....politics and big business.....

Boveybelle here - I don't have a shop, but my listings are under boveybelle1, if that helps. I did sell a little book on hardanger - perhaps that was the one. I will list the fabrics this weekend anyway.
I second that plague.
I can remember going out into the desert outside of Phoenix at night with a friend and a six-pack (or more likely, a twelve-pack) and enjoying some of the night sky. I don't think it would be dark enough down there any more.
Having lived my early life on a country farm with no outside light, it is surprising how light it is well into the evening, and early in the morning. The other thing I really miss from that time is the stars in the night sky - just how many and how bright compared to anywhere with street lighting. Having also spent some time in early summer on the northern coast of Sutherland I was taken by how light the sky was all night long - it just never got dark at all.
If there weren't so many clouds at least you would see plenty of stars.
Night skies without lights are wonderful.
For me, walking at dusk evokes memories of clouds of mosquitos. Rarely, I have walked in that golden hour and after, as well as in real dark. Too rare.
I am sick at the thought of it all. You have my vote for a plague.
I wish that I had been able to get a better shot at the sun and clouds in the first picture..blink and it's gone...even as you focus and press the shutter...

We have so much ambient light at night from the surrounding city that we never truly experience a dark sky. Stars are few and far between!
...silver lining...
