On a sparsely cloudy day this makes a lot of sense. On a day where the sun is shining, to go for a walk at sunset, is an opportunity to see golden hour colours. Last night that&#8217;s what I did.<\/p>\n<p>It is unusual for me to take so many pictures but the light was great. It&#8217;s just a shame that I was in an urban landscape rather than a natural one. We see power lines and cars parked. We see traffic. I tried to avoid having too much traffic iin shots but to do that I had to climb on one thing or another. I had to hold the camera up above my head, to get certain things out of shot.<\/p>\n<p>On a rainy day you would go from daylight, to night, and light simply fades into darkness. The transition is not spectacular. That&#8217;s why walking at sunset on a rainy day felt absurd, especially on a day when a group ride was possible.<\/p>\n<h2>And Finally<\/h2>\n<p>Falling into a walking routine is easy. That&#8217;s why it is good to walk at a variety of times of day, as well as in a variety of weather. If we only walk in good weather, and if we only walk at a specific time of day, then we miss seeing sights that we enjoy. I enjoyed the sunset because usually I&#8217;m walking where the view to the sky is blocked, or in the wrong direction, away from sunset.<\/p>\n<p>I was walking away from sunset last night, but I still saw the beauty, thanks to it being across the entire sky. I turned around constantly, to see if it was at the maximum, of colour saturation. I would have taken more photos, if cars weren&#8217;t getting in the way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><span class=\"span-reading-time rt-reading-time\" style=\"display: block;\"><span class=\"rt-label rt-prefix\">Reading Time: <\/span> <span class=\"rt-time\"> 2<\/span> <span class=\"rt-label rt-postfix\">minutes<\/span><\/span>When it is rainy and overcast going for a walk at sunset is not rational.
