Some of the trees are beyond the last reaches of the sun and already sit in darkness…

The sun still reaches this part of the sky but barely. Urgent strokes of orange and pink fight for dominance with the coming night.

I’ve just done a bit more on the dark pines this session. And the last bit of blue in the sky.

I have started on the trees outlined by the setting sun. I’ve kept them cooler here at the top; the sinking sun just can’t reach that high.

And more sky. Cooler and less intense, this part of the sky has already embraced the coming night.

More of the sky; the last of the sun can’t quite reach this high.
