Today’s photo was taken yesterday, just before 6:00 pm, looking west across Burnt Poplar Road and I-40. The sun set at 5:08 pm yesterday and just a little orange light lingered on the horizon. We are in the week of the most hours of darkness. In a few days, the winter solstice will be upon us and, slowly, days will start getting longer.

In the meantime, even busy I-40, the main east/west road through Greensboro, takes on a nice glow as the sun sets. If the day has been clear, you have about 30 minutes to photograph under that special light in the west. Have a great Friday and the last weekend before Christmas.
