Thanksgiving evening colors

I took the photo below early last evening (after sundown), with my little Olympus digital camera's automatic slow shutter, using a porch pillar on the front porch for support as a non-shake device. It was that haunting twilight time of day when the sky is sort of half-lit/half-dark and Nature can seem magical to the naked eye, if only pretty to an amateur photographer's inexpensive camera, whose automatic shutter speed and aperture opening can let in too much light and render the sky more overcast than twilighted.

  1. It was that twilight time of day when the sky is sort of half-light/half-dark. My Olympus couldn't quite capture it, I think because it let in too much light, rendering the sky more overcast than half-lit.

    It was that haunting time of day when things—especially Nature—can seem magical. My eye could see the magic, but the camera could capture only the prettiness.
