Last Light

It was a beautiful warm sunny day here so it looks like the forecast Indian summer has arrived.
However, just as I was planning to go for a walk with my camera while dinner was cooking in the oven, I realised that there was an 'agricultural' smell in the air, so I stayed indoors and closed all windows.
It was so unpleasant that we decided not to take Fudge for his usual evening walk up the road but took him to the beach instead.

Nikon D7000

There was something hovering at the edge of my mind as I was looking at this one but I couldn't quite get it until I just sat and looked at it for a while. It's the feeling that there are two planes, the earth/sea below and the clouds and sky above, which seem to be compressing the last light in between them, essentially squeezing the last life out of the day. It helps the photo work as a metaphor as well.

We have that problem sometimes, too. The photo is great... love this low light view. V

Lovely, low light sunset. I like the darkness settling over the water with the glow still visible. V.

I know exactly where you are coming from about the smell. Luckily it sent you to this beautiful place. This is wonderful and really captures that special feeling of the end of the day. ~V~

Such a beautiful sunset! V
We also notice the "agricultural smell" here from time to time as well.... But then, I live in mushroom country ~~~~

tactfully described odor, yet one gets the idea..that's life though, recycle whatever works, pongy or not...

I'm sure the perfume here was far more pleasant...
