It was a clear, lightly frosty day just like the past couple days have been. I went for my walk after sunset.

It was another very beautiful clear and frosty day.

the sky just after sunset. it's a gradient from blue to orange, with a bunch of brightly lit contrails cutting across it

hoarfrost on the ground, the ice crystals coating fallen oak leaves, grasses and moss

deer hill in the evening, it's a small hill among the fields with some trees and shrubs on top

silhouettes of bare trees between the fields against the post sunset sky that is blue, pink, yellow and orange, and distant powerlines

The sky is so large in the middle of the fields. It's impossible to convey in photos. Knowing which of the bright lights in the sky are the other planets of our solar system really establishes the feeling of standing on a rock that's floating through the universe.

tree silhouettes against the sky quite a while after sunset. the horizon still has a bright orange glow, while the sky above is dark blue. the planet Venus is visible in the sky.

It was a frosty, clear day. I went on my walk past sunset.

The cow boys were all there, on the close side of the stream.

A pro tip for photographing cows: if you want them to lift their head and look at you for a photo, try singing or humming to them. Here's Bambi, listening to me humming "Die Gedanken sind frei". Cows love a classic antifascist tune.

The bright spot in the sky is the planet Venus.

a cluster of tree silhouettes against the evening sky. there are some larger oak trees and smaller more gnarly looking ones. the sky is dark blue, and pale peach and yellow coloured above the horizon. there is a single point of light in the sky next to an oak tree.

the large trees by the side of the fields seen from a distance, in the last light past sunset. the sky is even darker than the previous shot, and the light point that is the planet Venus is more visible.

I stayed out for way after dark, looking at the stars and planets, trying to memorize constellations.

It was a nice, cold day. I went out for my walk right after sunset.

a bunch of leafless trees and shrubs and an evergreen tree in front of the post sunset sky which is a gradient of blueish grey to orange-yellow

Some parts of the ground were a bit frozen and I found a pretty patch of hoarfrost.
