The Sun Goes Down in Style.

-
Each year around the summer solstice, brings a walk at Barbury Castle to watch the sun go down.
The sky started to get prepared for its evening performance.


My brother gets ready to take some pictures

and the show begins.

I haven't changed the settings on the camera or the computer, this is for real!

The end of the show and my youngest daughter takes the last bow.
An amazing sight was had by all.
