View from our Balcony

Last week we took this picture.

This is the view from our balcony. The beautiful tree in which squirrels and pigeons play is now bereft of all its leaves, except those at its base. When it rains and a lone pigeon huddles in its branches, it feels as though one is seeing a visual image of forsaken desolation.

And this photo was taken just after 4:30pm. About half an hour after sundown. So notice the thing in the photo that shouldn't be there. (A Clue: The Bright Light is Not the Sun). That's right, by 4:30pm, night has completely fallen.

Winter is coming...

I think I agree with Linden.

It is an extremely cool photo, though.
