Looking for meanings in words, images and sounds
Thursday’s Special: Twilight
Today’s theme is pretty clear though the light in the image is dim. This twilight, half-obscure shot was taken one October above Florence. These days too as we approach the winter solstice, the half-lit sky is the only sky I see coming home from work.
If you want to join me in this Thursday’s Special photo challenge:
-
make a post on today’s theme and publish it before next Thursday
-

To all my American friends I wish a happy Thanksgiving, and a big thank you for your friendship and virtual companionship.

A beautiful city twilight. I have never thought of us in Australia having twilights but of course we must but I think of them more as sunsets. I don’t recall ever seeing those beautiful purple blues in Australia..

So nice to see you, Irene. Even though you don’t see it as much. I believe I saw it in some of your photos though, I am still hoping you will be joining me this time 🙂

A gorgeous view Paula. The days grow very short here with sunset at 4:35pm.

Florence is a city I’d like to see, stunning picture Paula. Short winter days when we see little daylight are the hardest.

I remember those days well, Paula, though they’re long past for me. Crispy Winter evenings nipping at your toes. Where better to spend them? Thank you for sharing the beauty. Just yesterday I was contemplating a few days in Florence in February. This might be an omen 🙂 🙂 Take care of yourself, hon.

Yes, an omen, absolutely. You should go, Jo. There will be less tourists to bump into, and weather could be nice. There is no telling these days. 🙂 I will find time to visit you today- I’ll make it 😀

Great theme Paula and that is a beautiful shot. Of a city I still haven’t visited. I really must put that right!
The lack of sun on a working day is what I really don’t like about winter. But I do appreciate late dawn and early sunset at weekends – plenty of temptation for the camera with no need for early starts and late finishes 🙂
It took me a while to find a twilight shot – most of mine are either sun or pitch black. But here we are, I found one! https://travelwithintent.com/2016/11/24/twilight-budapest/

Beautiful photo and view! It’s a shame that we don’t get enough sun now that we’re in the dark season.
One of my cousins that lives up North wrote a post on Facebook the other day where she said goodbye to the sun. “See you again in 2017”, she wrote. Luckily we get a few hours of daily sunlight here, even in the dark season.

I love the meeting of the two different forms of light (though I suppose I should probably worry about light pollution instead).

Interesting point, Hilary. I remember standing there with my tripod and camera and thinking that the city is poorly lit. We should be more sensible about all sorts of pollution. Thank you for your comment 🙂

Bringing you more twilight, but hoping it doesn’t make you too, too weary. The trouble is with these low light levels, they tell our body clocks to go to bed, or hibernate. http://wp.me/pKVAM-24P

I am another who has yet to go to Florence and your photo is very enticing Paula. I have a link to an old post I wrote about twilight last year, https://smallbluegreenwords.wordpress.com/2015/07/20/twilight/
but I also have an image taken today that I will post as soon as I get it off the camera. We need all the light we can get!

I love those twinkling lights Paula- and of course Florence is made more magical at twilight- you have captured it beautifully. Love the music too- I left it playing in the background looping over and over while I worked at the computer. Twilight is one of my favorite times of say- the sky, the shadows, I just loive the feel o it. Here’s my capture of it https://dailymusing57.com/2016/11/24/thursdays-special-twilight/
