This evening’s sunset and moon pictured from Dromtariffe – by TMC Photography
It was a beautiful sunset, and it seemed like we already have a stretch in the evenings, but in reality we’ve only gained six minutes from the earliest sunset of the year which falls about December 13th. See the full sunrise and sunset charts. Interestingly the mornings won’t start getting earlier until December 31st!
