    Very pretty, I’m sure my phone doesn’t do it the full justice.

    But I am curious – is there a bridge or something running along the far side? The reflection of the horizon doesn’t match.

    Stunning.

    We had a sunset evening like that 4 or 5 days back and I just sat in the park awestruck watching it play out slowly. It warmed my soul.

    Listening to On The Nature Of Daylight by Max Richter.

    It was really fucking awesome! I enjoyed that experience greatly and want many more.

  7. Thanks, all!

    @Franklin: The pond bank curves on the lefthand side of the shot, if that is what you mean.

    @de stijl: Watching a good sunset (or sunrise, for that matter) can be quite the treat for the soul!
