Just a little older than me There were sieges of Jerusalem in 1099 and 1187 for starters, maybe more.

That's a nice word - I always just called it twilight, but gloaming sounds cool!

Yeah, it's a good word

Nice pics Sarge. CG you beat me to it...Gloaming comes from Old English glomung, from glom, "dusk."

[mqudsi]

Nice picture.

Here's a question for you: without knowing the cardinal directions on a photo, can you differentiate between a sunrise and sunset?

 

[Sarge]

Good question.

I'm not sure, I'm not sure is there a difference that will allow us to see is it sunset or sunrise, so, I'm not sure...

Taken about 3 or 4 days ago... here in Serbia.

God, how I miss the countryside living in the middle of a big city!! Nice shot. Is that a building, a boat or a train in the distance?

 

[Sarge]

It's a train, some people though it was building, but it's train
