Scarlet bleeds from a dying sun, inking a misty white shroud pink. And shadows soon merge into one as daylight slowly starts to shrink. Twilight stretches the light of day, inking ebony silhouettes. And timid stars come out to play, piercing the dark, with no regrets. As Dusk dims the fringes of Night, silence is imposed on the scene. And dousing all lingering light, darkness descends calm and serene. Night unveils the moon and the stars, shining down from a darkened sky. And adds a crimson blush to Mars while brown bats hunt moths on the fly.

Great imagery, Emile, and I love the pic. We don't seem to have "sunsets" here in the Ozarks, but I remember some great ones from my days in West Texas.
