Photograph #74 The Gathering Gloom
August 12th, 2010Gloom means the time of twilight
Just as the sun departs, night arrives and the Gloom is that time between. Sometimes metaphors get in the way of a really good word. The word has come to mean an indrawn mood of sadness and loss, and yet, as the Moody Blues declared, At Twilight Time “…fantasy strides, over colourfull skies/ Of form disappearing from view.”
I found a good place to watch that happen.

Very moody, but intriguing.
