Sunset, Tuesday, 14 July 2009
Dedicated to the vainqueurs of the Bastille. I think we in the States tend to minimize Bastille Day (my birthday!) because we always hear that the prison wasn’t necessarily that important, the storming of the place wasn’t such a big deal, etc. – so I was surprised to learn that 98 of the liberators were killed that day.
Tonight’s sunset was followed by one of the strangest twilights I think I’ve ever seen. If I feel I can remember the composition and the colors well enough, I may add it tomorrow.
