This past weekend as I stood in our kitchen preoccupied with my own thoughts, the silhouette of our birch suddenly caught my eye, as it stood illuminated by the setting sun, against an evening sky defined by peach and iris blue coloured hue. The day has aged into twilight, my favorite kind of light. I love the time of dusk, with its contagious stillness and enchanted atmosphere.
As I stood there watching, the surroundings grew the hue of tangelo. I had to walk out, camera in my hand, witnessing a natural wonder, while the beauty of the first visible mid winter sunset unfolded through the barren trees in our backyard. The amber coloured skies created a sense of preview of what is to come, as winter moves into the second half of its reign.

Thanks for walking out and sharing with us this unique and amazingly beautiful moment. The colours uplift my spirit and I wish I could soon witness the same wonder.
Stay well and have a lovely day!
What a stunning sunset! I love the deep winter colours.
Amazing colors of nature! You certainly have an eye to appreciate the true beauty:)
Beautiful! There is something so very peaceful about Twilight, and your sunsets are so beautiful.

Absolutely gorgeous!!! It leaves me speechless!!! Wishing you well! Cathy
What beautiful colours.
Goodmorning!Beautiful color,just amazing.I thought the same as you a few days ago about the daylight increasing.That sure was fast.Its about 25 minutes here nevertheless.Its staying light a little longer and who could complain about that.
Have a fun day!
wow...what colors there is to your world...even the air seems to take on the color...like a perfume...still back and forth here...cold one day and in short sleeves the next...crazy year...
That is quite breath-taking, probably my favourite of your photos to date.
If you ever want a career change I would encourage you to consider professional photography xx
Thanks for sharing your gold Zuzana.
Oh my, they don't look real!! Isn't Mother Nature amazing? No one does it better. Beautiful captures. xx
I noticed for the first time yesterday that 5 o'clock pm came and it wasn't dark out here yet. Yippee! I'm so glad longer days are coming.
It's beautiful, Zuzana! I love the colors!
Lovely photos,what an amazing colour! I have never heard of "Tangelo" before but I will remember it now. lol Angela
Such amazing shades of orange and red! I really like the stark tree silhouetted against the colorful sky.
Oh Zuzana, you describe the beautiful tangelo sky with perfection!
It's been warm and beautiful here in my part of the world.
Thank you for the pictures, and the lovely words that describe them.
Take care Zusana.
We've noticed it too that the days last longer and this is uncanny.
I think the earth must have changed its incline and I think its because its too top heavy since all the wood in South America is sold and brought up to build heavy buildings.
Gorgeous!! You make winter look so gorgeous!! :)
You were right to capture such wonderful light on film. Everyday I make a note of how much daylight is left when I get home. It is dusk now, not full darkness and that makes me happy. Our daylight has only increased by 23 minutes since the solstice. This time next month, I should be able to arrive home in full light again. Yipee!
What a set of gorgeous pictures.
Oh, those colors are so magnificent!
Thanks for sharing Zuzana.
Wishing you a great weekend!

Gorgeous views of the sky un the twilight.
So nice and beautiful!!
What a beauty of a sunset. "Tangelo" is the perfect way to describe its colour. I love that tree standing so proud against that fiery sky.
Besides drooling at the colours and vibracy of the pictures, I am also wondering what you were cooking in your kitchen.
Zuzana, I guess, in addition to nature's pictures, you should also put up some pictures of your food (!).
Joy always,
Susan
The sky looks absolutely amazing! Great shot, dear Zuz!

Dear Zuzana,
Your photographs of the tangelo twilight are extraordinarily beautiful with the vibrant colours.
Lovely to see a little from your part of the world, thank you.
Hope that you are enjoying the weekend

Zuzana, I like you count the minutes when light increases after the winter solstice, that is the reason why i look forward to winter so that I can see the daylight extend gradually day after day.
I have missed your writing! I am so busy in the preparations of the race I direct, but soon I will be your daily reader even if you dont write daily
You always have the most amazingly beautiful skies! The colors are so vibrant.
I'm glad winter is moving into the second half of it's reign.
How's Sam these days?
Zuzana: You reminded me of a sunset I took notice of two nights ago! Breathtaking! You sound great! xoxo! :)
Thanks for sharing these beautiful thoughts.
