Endless Gloom

West Virginia

We've reached the time of year when the sun never shines. The street lights don't even cut off in the day. This is because as the weather cools, it produces fog which never really burns off. We usually get some nice days in October and then it starts snowing in November.

For the September challenge - Transitions. Other transitions can be seen here.

Quite a lamp!

Love the bit of warmth setting the fixture apart.

but that's a neat shot being able to see the light in the dim sky, good one

Really - no more sun shine? Never like that here. In winter the earliest the sun sets is 17.11pm and rises at 07.30am in middle June
And right now the sun sets at 18.14 and rises at 06.18. I'm enjoying these longer days and Daylight Savings starts next Sunday.

We get the same, but usually not until late October.

Wow, I didn't think it started so early. Wow. Getting darker earlier here but at least we do see some daylight. Love your pic. This is cool. Shows up how dim it can get.

Oh, I don't miss the short days up north. You did a great job getting the wet, dreary atmosphere in this photo! V

I hate to admit that the days of dim light are upon us... but you're right about thatm, the equinox is only days away. Great photo to show the balance of light between the lamp and the sky. V
