I took this at8.30pm in the garden. Tonight is the Solstice so still light. It would have been better had it not been overcast!! These flowers are iridescent in the evening light.
I love how the the evening rays of the sun illuminates the Rock and the 3 stacks just before the sun goes down. And some wisps of fog also catch that last light and are set off against the solid wall of dark fog behind the entire scene.
BNSF 1953 West charges down the Lakes Sub. with the Rapids Local on the evening of Aug. 8, 2017. This pair of SD40-2s has been holding the Rapids Local assignment for quite sometime out of Superior.
I actually liked pinstriped whiteface BN SD40-2s back in the day, but don't care much for this "Greenface" 1953. I would have much rather had a pair of oranges or have the consist flipped, but had to take what I could get as there was very nice light south of Superior and this was the only train I could find moving towards the setting sun. Still nice to see the SD40-2 on the mainline, pulling a good sized train at mainline speeds.
With a late call time out of Superior, by the time the 1953 stops to do work at Cloquet the sun will have set. Not sure if has been running later lately or this was an unusual later departure.
A beautiful male Evening Grosbeak seen yesterday at the Sax-Zim Bog birding area in northern Minnesota. He is cracking a sunflower seed from a nearby bird feeder. St. Louis County, MN 02/11/23
It's been several years since the Grosbeaks last visited my yard. This year I have Black-headed and Evening Grosbeaks at my feeders.
Silence is therefore important even in the life of faith and in our deepest encounter with God. We cannot always be talking, praying in words or keeping up a kind of devout background music. Much of our well-meant interior religious dialogue is, in fact, a smoke screen and an evasion. Much of it is simply self-reassurance and in the end is little better than self-justification. Instead of really meeting God in the nakedness of faith in which our inmost being is laid bare before Him, we act out an inner ritual that has not function but to allay anxiety.

Walking home just after sunset, hadn't planned to be that late so didn't bring the tripod, improvised some low-light shots sitting camera on the edge of the bridge over the canal to steady it for timer shots
