Tag: Sonnenuntergang

When Africa Comes to Visit

A sunset to complement Becky’s sunrise with which she started off Febodduary, or rather: a month of odd squares in February. Not a pink and orange blaze of the sun going down over the Rhine Valley but a a lowered sun muted and dark through dust blown all the way from North Africa. A Sahara sandstorm in Germany which although it seems to spell doom is actually the reason why our area has such fertile soil.

Odd Square #1

Mango tango – industrial sunset

 

056 mango tango

Unbelievably no colour tweaking in this sunset – viewed past a roof of a detached house and towards the chimneys belching smoke.  The shadow far away (about 40 to 50 km away) are the hills of the Pfälzer Wald, the low mountain range west of the Rhine and the equivalent of the Odenwald on the eastern side.
