THE GLOAMING

Ishie and I were in the swing park at the back of our house this afternoon when we noticed the full moon rising. We were just high enough to see it and also to watch the wonderful pink sky as it started to get dark.

The leaves are now all away from the trees. Last week there were still a lot on the trees as we had to stand under them to avoid the sudden short showers passing over. Here she is in her pink jacket pointing to the moon as she sits astride the monkey bars. And as she pointed out to me she likes pink "it is for girls".

Maggie and I returned from Stockholm yesterday and here is a photo taken at exactly the same time of day in Tegnérlunden Park opposite our hotel. The lighting was a similar pink and taking about the same time to get dark (i.e. half an hour after the sun went down).
