Although you might picture colorful flowers blooming on a sunny day, a few plants bloom after sunset and throughout the night, with flowers closing up during daylight hours. The common night-blooming, or evening, primrose (Oenothera) usually has fragrant bright yellow flowers that can perfume an entire garden during the evening hours.
The magic is that the flowers of evening primrose open at almost exactly 9 p.m. on summer nights, and you can watch it unfold its petals, slightly trembling in the night air, in mere minutes–or seconds.

Das Öffnen der Blüten erfolgt innerhalb weniger Minuten in einer fließenden Bewegung. Die Schnelligkeit, mit der das Aufblühen erfolgt, ist bei keiner anderen in Mitteleuropa vorkommenden Pflanze zu beobachten.
Die hellgelben Blüten öffnen sich zu Beginn der Nacht und Morgen, wenn die Sonne scheint, beginnen sie bereits wieder zu verblühen...
It was windy and cloudy this evening at Sparks Lake to I decided to use a long shutter speed to smooth the water.
That Friday twilight again, closer here.
In March, one don´t have to stay up late to catch the twilight.
Late evening sun creates contrasting shadows as it catches Penistone Viaduct.
Passing over the viaduct is the Northern Service , 2P87 2018 Huddersfield - Retford.

Abendsonne, die endlich hinter einer breiten Wolkenbank hervorkam, vergoldete mir die rasante Vorbeifahrt des EC 6 am 2.2.2014
zwischen Ludwigshafen-Oggersheim und Frankenthal.
Auf dem Schild der Glint; für den Zug reichte es leider nicht...

Winter sunsets... gotta love em. :-) I've made a start on getting to each of your photostreams but will have to do it in bitesize chunks as there's a lot of good stuff to see. Night :-) x
From Tolborough Tor looking NW towards Brown Willy. Was hoping for more than 90 seconds of decent light, but the clouds just weren't playing ball. Can't win 'em all.

Departing Friedewald on a septembers evening 99 564 catches the last rays of the sun with a DR style train for Radeburg
After a disappointing sunset, thought I would carry on into the blue hour.
Unfortunately the tide was coming in so I spent my time retreating backward along the beach, rather than taking the carefully planned composition I had intended for sunset.
Oh well, thats all part of the fun of seascape photography, it will still be there the next time the tide is right though :)
After taking my wife out for her birthday, we saw this evening sky in the restaurant parking lot. You know me, I had to grab a shot!
