The Golden Hour

This is the time of year for great sunset pictures.  (When it’s not raining cats and dogs, that is.)

Of course, the sun sets every night.  So, in theory, any night of the year is a golden photo opportunity.

But these are the weeks when the dying sun coincides with my evening walk.  And thus when the golden hour most frequently finds its way into my camera.

Besides, it feels particularly good to capture the light right now.  It’s like bottling it to see us through the long dark nights of winter.

You're bottling sunlight in your photos. I am storing it in my body and larder...
