The past few weeks have been superb – weather associated with southerly climes, now available in Mazovia. The sun now sets earlier and earlier; today at 19:19. In just over three weeks, it will be Equilux (exactly 12 hours of day, 12 hours of night). And then, on 25 September, the sun will rise over Chynów (seat of a third-order administrative division) at 06:26 and set at 18:26. The days are shortening rapidly.
While the evenings are clear, a walk at sunset is in order. Watching the earth spin and the sun disappearing is a moment of connection with the Cosmos; that sudden sense of, "YES! I am on a planet within a solar system!" comes into sharp focus.
At this time of year, the sun no longer sets over Sułkowice, but over Wola Pieczyska. A mystical, magical moment awaits. "Slow-burning star sinking low/Heaven knows where you go"
The Unbearable Pleasance of Flashedback Familiarity
The imperceptible end of summer
Energy, focus and state of mind
This time six years ago:
All things visible and invisible
This time eight years ago:
Work starts on Warsaw-Radom rail modernisation
This time nine years ago:
Won't be long 'til summertime is through
This time 11 years ago:
It was a good year for the apples
This time 13 years ago:
Early-September moan about the commuting

A relaxing read and great photos as always, Michael. Even though we have such warm weather in Warsaw now, autumnal weather is on its way soon.
Best regards,
Liam
