This is a stunning capture and colors dear Heather.
I can see the sunset at your place is around 17.30, here in Reykjavik the sunrise is at 11.00
and the sunset around 15.30, so we only have 4 1/2 hours of daylight ;-)
This was a pretty sunset alright. I was lucky to see it while sewing in my sewing room. I grabbed the camera and ran to the front verandah. Does having so little daylight bother you?? I think it would me. It cuts down on your "Kodak moments" as the kids and I call my trips with my camera.
No it does not bother me at all, except for as you say my "Fuji moments"
This time of the year has it's beautiful moments with all the Christmas lights, and by
Christmas the day will get longer again, step by step ;-)
