Tangled branches

One of the reasons I particularly dislike winter is the need to get up in the dark and the fact that nightfall comes so early. The only slight compensation is that, if there is a good sunset, I am sometimes on my way home and well placed to observe it. Here the sunsets can be spectacular given the open vistas and the dust/soil particles in the atmosphere which sometimes produce impressive colours. There was nothing spectacular about tonight's sky but the tangled branches and the clouds showed up well in the failing light.
