Day 242 2015: The sun always sets...

Day 242: ...on a short weekend

So yes, how quickly the weekend goes when you spend half of it at work. Oh well, occupational hazard I guess. 

This morning I went off to help out some friends get started on twitter and begin the long road to promoting their cause...peace. A lovely start to the day. 

Back home to think of all the things I might need to do...the washing, the cleaning, the clearing...the sleeping catch up too, which happened, briefly. And on such a clear, sunny day and clear skies after the rain last night, I figured a quick jaunt out to Manly or closer to home, a hop up the local mountain lookout (recently refurbished), to capture what I figured might be a stunning sun set...

Waving the sun goodbye... (^_^)/

Clouds, trees, sundown

Sky meets mountain

The bridge emerges through the twilight

Planes land

Twinkle, twinkle little city

Long exposure city lights, tail lights, plane lights, star

...in anticipation of a lovely full moon rise. 

Through the clouds

Clouds disperse

Cloud-free

Always a lovely way to see out a weekend and bring on the working week*.
