chasing the sunset

yesterday, after picking up a few groceries i passed thru this roundabout with lush royal palms and beautiful fountain...

the sun was sinking down

so i stopped to take a few shots from my phone

and it was gone in 60 seconds


as i got home, on the opposite side
the moon was slowly rising...
ain't it dramatic?

i will do an update of this chaand later. i'll catch it again

kookie says: did you know that the sun is a star, like all the other stars you see in the night? it is a typical, medium-size star but because the sun is much closer to earth than any other star, we can see it in great detail. the diameter of the sun is 864,000 miles. that's more than 100 times earth's diameter and 28 times earth's gravity. hmmm...how hot is it???
