And now, getting close to closing out busy in favor of just the regular week of stuff, here's the close of the day at Silver Beach.
So here's why I said ``one of'' the historic plaques: turns out this was the location of a historically significant early flight! I didn't realize although I'm sure I came across mention of the flight before. I bet there's a letterbox in the area we didn't think to look for.
I can't remember what this is the top of but it's a nice dramatic top at least.
Shipping channel that leads into town. There's a lighthouse at the end of the pier that must not be open to the public as we didn't even try to visit it.
I got maybe way too into the sunset but here's a picture that came out well.
Here's some seagulls with wings illuminated by the setting sun.
The sun close enough to the horizon that it's visibly distorted! Cool, huh? And thanks, seagull, because that shadow is one of the things I wanted in this.
I do so many pictures where someone is walking out of frame. I don't know why I like that theme so.
More seagulls intruding on the setting sun. I'm sorry this isn't illuminated quite so well but that might have been impossible to do.
And the trailing edge of the sun at the horizon line.
There was still plenty of light for an hour or two; here's ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}

There's two lighthouse beacons and a third (far left) that were blinking just close enough to each other, but a little out of phase, that I thought I might sometime get all three lit at once. Reader, I did not.
And the end of the day, with the sky looking like a picture of the Earth and atmosphere from space.
