the sky draws its curtain
the red rounded slowly sinking to slumber
and the twilight is gone

Santa Monica Pier

At mid Wednesday afternoon, the skies facing west from the office window was calling my name. So after work, I hopped on the Big Blue Bus to Santa Monica Pier in time to watch the sunset at 4:45 pm.
