Sunset in June

August 30, 2007

While browsing through my digital photo library today I came across two remarkable pictures of a sunset. Both pictures were taken the same day (the 14th of June) from the loch side of the house, looking towards the outer isles. The first picture was taken at about 22:00.

The second picture was taken at about midnight. What’s remarkable is that the first picture looks like it was taken before the first one. This effect is caused by the overcast and the golden haze produced by a setting sun. During the summer months the nights don’t get much darker than the image below.

By the way: Unless for a bit of cropping, both pictures have not been edited or enhanced digitally.

  • The weather at Milovaig, a place some 10 miles north of where we are. This gives a fairly accurate picture of what we're having....
