Winter Nights |
Now winter nights enlarge the number of their hours; |
And clouds their storms discharge upon the airy towers; |
Let now the chimneys blaze and cups o'erflow with wine; |
Let voices all be raised in harmony divine. |
"Winter Nights" excerpts from a very long poem found in Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 1937. |
Late afternoon walk along Los Cerritos Trail, Calero County Park. |
As the light fades, the cloud scenery overhead is often very dramatic. |
There are a handful of towering oaks on ridges above the trail. |
Back-lit by light as it fades. |
The views can be breathtaking. |
Retracing steps as the light fades. |
Trees beside the trail are illuminated by the last rays of the sun. |
The last 2-3 hours of daylight are best for enjoying twilight scenery. |
