Night falls quietly

Just before 4:00 p.m. the sun still warmed the four tall eucalyptus trees down at our local monastery.
Then only the colored church windows caught the last bits of sunlight.

SkyWatch Friday is beginning now. Fly on over to visit.

    I really like the second photo. Standing in the shadows with a still bright sky. Great feeling.

    The way our eucalypts have spread throughout the world never ceases to surprise me. They always remind me of home. Lovely light in your photo.

    I imagine that was why chuch windows were created for. With the intention of attracting attention, and with a purpose of aestetics.

    These 2 pictures of the monastery are so relaxing, and peaceful. It is timeless. No references to modernity.
