Quiet night - # 09/103

Misdummer night at 21.05 hrs was strangely quiet in the Terrace Gardens on Richmond Hill. The empty seats and the shadows of the trees created a substantial stillness of their own.

    Beautiful scene! Setting sun can provide such a magnificent colour!

    I envy you a little about weather: I don't know what's happened to Moscow but summer left the city a week ago, and these 3-4 days temperature didn't rise above +12C.

    Wait. Are you saying that this is at 11:05 at night? Wow! I did not realize that the sky was lit so late into the night there. On our longest days of the year it is mostly dark by 8:30 or 9:00. That is cool. I love the silhouettes of the trees. Especially of that bent evergreen.

    LOL, Chuck, about you saying that the area around London does not qualify as The Land of the Midnight Sun. But that is something that I find so cool to learn and I love how you phrased that about farther up North where the sun refuses to go down "but just kisses the sea then skids along the horizon and starts to rise again". So poetic!

    L'heure bleue arrive, après que le soleil se soit couché.
    Alors j'imagine... Une terrasse ? Pourquoi pas une boucle du fleuve en contrebas et dans les arbres à la plus haute branche un merle siffleur.
    Car le merle en ce moment chante tout le jour, et jusqu'à la nuit tombée ; il est alors très, très tard...

    Among twenty snowy mountains,
    The only moving thing
    Was the eye of the blackbird.

    - Wallace Stevens -

    Pas le temps de faire des photos ? Au moins enjoy le chant du merle noir.
    :)

    Un quartier charmant sans aucun doute qui change petit à petit en fonction de l'évolution des besoins des habitants.
    Ici, j'imagine que la famille s'est aggrandie et qu'on a fait une petite pièce supllémentaire pour le bébé. Un petit nid en quelque sorte.
    :)
