The night of the 5th was a very nice observing time for us but setup began before sunset. In the process of beginning to setup, I could not resist a quick sketch as the sun went down.

Roland,

Very nice sketch and use of colors. As always, I enjoyed the verse as well.

I enjoy naked-eye observing as the sun sets. I've always thought of astronomy as enjoying the wonders of nature, in the grandest possible scale. The way you included flowers and clouds was a nice way to tie it all together.
