Sunset was at 4:18 p.m. yesterday.  I was returning home from grocery shopping and decided to bypass my regular exit and drive to Volunteer Park to watch the sunset.  It had been a clear, cold day — the high temperature was only 34 degrees!  How glad I am that I took the time to savor the splendid setting of the sun behind the Olympic Mountains!  The Black Sun sculpture by Isamu Noguchi provided a dramatic point of view from which to enjoy the colorful spectacle.
