Solstice Sunset

I biked out to the coastal trail to watch the sunset tonight. It was gorgeous. The sun slipped below the horizon as the clock hit midnight. Even though the sun dipped below the horizon, it's not really going to get dark tonight.

People were out all along the bike path watching the sunset. A group had built a bonfire just by the train tracks on the tidal flats.

Denali and Mt. Foraker were clearly outlined by the setting sun. Their silhouettes were lit up in red.

As I biked back, a beaver paddled its way along the shore in Westchester Lagoon. It's moments like these that remind me how magical a place this is to live.
