Sunset and moonrise.

Not great photos but it was a lovely summer evening last night. Bootlaces were caught.

I wish the (big) eels thought so.

But it is a nice place to blank!

It’s nice just being there Dave
Apart from the bootlaces!

Slimy, bait pinching, wriggly things they were.

Here’s a moon pic I took last month
It was on the night of full moon, no bootlaces, no anything tbh

When the full moon rises the sun is setting at the same time, something that is easier to see if your on the ocean.
There is also a phenomena known as the green flash that can occur as the sun sets, never seen it myself despite wait a few times with camera at the ready.

The wonders of our natural world.

I've heard of the green flash and seen photos of it, but never experienced it myself.

One of the benefits of being and angler is being by the water at these times of day when the world seems more tranquil, wildlife is either waking up or going to bed, and the light can be amazing.

That evening I saw swallows feeding over the water, a lone swift and a kingfisher streaking past. Not to mention the forty plus mallards (must have bred well this year) and the bird song I heard.

Very spiritual the old eel fishing
I love it
