at dusk
light softens.
buildings glow
more ethereal,
rooftop towers
and chimneys
fade as neon
paints streets
as people move
ghostly along
sidewalks from
work to home
as sirens wail
as cars pass
and a muffled
hum as night
comes on
seems to be
the city singing
itself to sleep

When we allow freedom to ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual: "Free at last! Free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!"
--Martin Luther King, Jr.
Someone was saying
how the sun turned
the sand the gold
of wheat in autumn
and waves kept
sifting up and down
the beach and
someone was saying
the wind carried
the sea far inland
and died down
and came back
and scoured the shells
that were empty
like porcelain
sculptures, and
someone was saying
look what that couple
is doing in public
and someone
was swimming
far out where
people drown
or sharp fins might appear
and someone napped
under the red umbrella
and no one said anything
for a long time

A painter's sky over Lincoln at sunset this evening :)
One of a series of photos of a beautiful sunset - taken over a short period on the evening of Friday 13th August 2021. I zoomed in to the distant West Burton Power Station located on the Nottinghamshire coal fields.
"The West Burton power stations are a pair of power stations on the River Trent, near Gainsborough, Lincolnshire, England. West Burton A was a coal-fired power station, one of the Hinton Heavies which was commissioned in 1966 and operated until 2023. West Burton B on the other hand, is a combined cycle gas turbine power station, commissioned in 2013. West Burton A is owned by EDF Energy, while West Burton B is owned and operated by Totalenergies.
The site is the farthest north of what was a series of power stations in the Trent valley, being 5.6 kilometres (3.5 mi) downstream of the now-closed Cottam power stations. As of September 2022, it was one of only three coal-fired power stations left in the UK and was required to close before 2024, with generation on two units initially planned to cease on 30 September 2022.
Due to the volatile energy market associated with the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the United Kingdom Government agreed with plant owners EDF Energy that the remaining two generating units would be available for use for 6 months beyond the 30 September 2022 closure date, in order to provide supplies over the winter period. The plant ended generation on 31 March 2023."

I was looking over Lincoln Edge and contemplating the simple beauty of the sky. The location is on the west facing escarpment known locally as Lincoln Edge, in the Cathedral city of Lincoln. The viewpoint gives a clear view of west Lincolnshire and the Nottinghamshire plain. Their were a myriad of subtle colour changes over a very short period of time :)
