We went for a walk with our dogs on Woolacombe beach on Boxing Day . . .

. . . up Hillsborough as another beautiful sunset develops over Ilfracombe . . .

September sunset over Ilfracombe

I know I posted photos of sunset and sunrise only a few days ago, but after a wet and cloudy July and August, it seems like the summer we feel we have missed . . .

Breathtaking September sunset in Ilfracombe, Devon

. . . truly spectacular.

A similar sight introduced me to Ilfracombe in 1969 when my family arrived by train and at the hill-top station were greeted by the sun dancing on the sea: a powerful image, both then and now.

. . . the colours and shades are intricate but fleeting.

Sometimes the dying day blazes behind the Torrs . . .

The departing day blazes behind the Torrs

. . . and all I can do is . . .

Ilfracombe sunset

. . . marvel.

A magical time, the evening . . .

The Torrs blazing at sunset in Ilfracombe, Devon
