RE: Tree Tuesday ~ "Si seulement je pouvais parler Francais..." ~
That soft time of night/day when the clouds are just tinged pink but the sky still looks a light blue - that is the perfect time. I love the transitions between day and night, and yet have a hard time with change. Most the time change is really beautiful, despite the fear of it. It looks like the most peaceful of bike rides at day/night change time.
The mallard track is quite lovely, and I like that last one. For an instant the eye gets confused. Are the trees in the place they should be, or are those pink clouds upside down pink mountains?
Love the French titles - nice touch :)
That is a lovely, very peaceful time of the day. Always fascinates me that every night is a bit different. I feel very fortunate to be able to enjoy it along a river on a bike path. I never GET anywhere fast, because I'm always stopping to click away, but I figure that's what it's there for. Clicking away AT.
I can relate a bit to day into night, though it's more from the need to keep an eye out for the folks living in the bushes. I go fast, most times, to avoid any odd bodkin 'conversations'.
Glad you enjoyed the topsy turvy world there. It was really intense in person. A bit dizzying. The French was fun, but I'm waiting for someone to correct my grammar. I think Google thought some of my odd duck words don't exactly fit into the flowy vernacular.
There is a small tribe of people all over the world that are fascinated by sunsets. Transfixed. I'm not sure what we are after. Do we just like pretty colors? Hard to say...
I'm definitely one of the tribe members. My family has perched many a time at sunset on the western beaches of your fair state, and watched in rapt attention for the coveted Green Flash.
I think this is multi-fold stuff. The wonderful color palette, late in the day relaxation at it's ebb, and an overall reminder of the dawn and drop of life.
Or, we just like it.
Deep stuff for a Wednesday in July...
It is lovely even on the eastern side of my state where you can't see it go down, but the colors all turn muted against the water and for a few minutes everything is magical.
I think you've got all the reasons listed. And it is also a bit addicting I think.
