Room with a view

There’s a beautiful sunset this evening and the air is cooling after a hot nor’west day.

It was too hot for gardening, so I found a shady spot to read this very enjoyable book.

I’m half-way through and I don’t want it to end – but I can’t put it down!

There’s an adjustment required to foreshortened views after the panoramic vistas of Wānaka. No mountains or lake, but we do enjoy the evening skies at home. Last night, the cherry tree turned golden as the sun set.

As the sky darkened, the colours deepened.

Then, as the colours faded, the crescent moon appeared.

I photographed the crescent moon and bright star (Venus, if I read the Stellarium app correctly) early one morning in Wānaka. I opened the curtains early to watch the sunrise.
