...honestly, the sky was such a dazzling salmon hue (contrasted of course with the deepening blue of near-dusk).
So after getting the patio picture I ran outside to the front (literally ran, as sunsets are transient things) and looked out toward the horizon (if you can call a cascade of suburban roof-tops a horizon). And I saw a most interesting arrangement of lines (power/telephone lines, possibly both, I am not certain) spidering out from a pole:
Now I just need to get up early enough one of these days to get some sunrise pictures!

Gilmour: "No one can replace Richard Wright. He was my musical partner and my friend. In the welter of arguments about who or what was Pink Floyd, Rick's enormous input was frequently forgotten. He was gentle, unassuming and private but his soulful voice and playing were vital, magical components of our most recognised Pink Floyd sound. I have never played with anyone quite like him. The blend of his and my voices and our musical telepathy reached their first major flowering in 1971 on 'Echoes'. In my view all the greatest PF moments are the ones where he is in full flow. After all, without 'Us and Them' and 'The Great Gig in the Sky', both of which he wrote, what would 'The Dark Side of the Moon' have been? Without his quiet touch the album 'Wish You Were Here' would not quite have worked. In our middle years, for many reasons he lost his way for a while, but in the early Nineties, with 'The Division Bell', his vitality, spark and humour returned to him and then the audience reaction to his appearances on my tour in 2006 was hugely uplifting and it's a mark of his modesty that those standing ovations came as a huge surprise to him, (though not to the rest of us). Like Rick, I don't find it easy to express my feelings in words, but I loved him and will miss him enormously."

"From 1987 Wright favoured Kurzweil digital synthesizers for reproducing his analogue synthesizer sounds, even though he still used his favourite Hammond C-3 organ."

Good shots! Needz original flickr urls!
I tried that "getting up early" thing for a while, but it didn't work for me. If I want to see a sunrise, I just have to stay up really really late. I am not a "morning person." If I am sentenced to be shot at dawn, they'll just have to wait, unless they want to execute a sleeping guy, which seems un-necessarily absurd.
Gorgeous! I love the patterns the lattice makes, and am trying to picture it in person.
Justthisguy: Same here. I have actually been seeing the sunrise some mornings lately, but that's because my schedule has defaulted back to nocturnal. At this latitude--about 51°N--it's starting to get light before 4 a.m. (And my husband thinks it's freakishly dark this time of year, compared to Stockholm!)
