Sunset and moonrise

I'm still fascinated by the speed with which night falls here in Scotland in winter and the reverse in the summer. At the height of summer it barely gets dark at all and remains dusk until well past 11pm. In the winter the reverse applies, the sun sets and the moon rises almost at once.

These pictures where both taken this evening barely 30 minutes apart!
