August sunsets around Chynów

The climax of a summer evening's walk should be catching the sunset.

Below: the evening had been heavily overcast, with a downpour threatening - it didn't happen - the clouds passed and a narrow slit of clear sky, just above the horizon, let the setting sun shine upon the landscape... Just north of Piekut. 


Below: south of Gaj Żelechowski - suddenly, I noticed this splendid sight...


Below: I walked towards the setting sun to get it fill the frame...


Below: Another evening, another sunset to chase... Chynów, towards Nowe Grobice, approaching the highest local height as the sun nears the horizon.


Below: looking towards the northern edge of Chynów, the unpaved ulica Miodowa.


Below: this rare Earth. Treat it well. Let nature flourish.


Below: today was the mirror opposite of yesterday; rather than emerge from the clouds for a final farewell, the sun dipped behind a cloud bank with a quarter of an hour to go.


Below: a freight train on the Warsaw-Radom line; because there's not enough current in the overhead lines to power heavy goods trains, they have to be diesel-hauled between Czachówek and Radom. Here's a Freightliner PL Class 66 pulling a rake of coal wagons. Note the air-conditioning units above the cabs at either end of the loco.
