Quiet on the Western Front

There was a welcome break from the rain today, so I watched the sun slip away beyond a perfectly pleasant Christmas Eve from the middle of the Bay. It was an otherwise unremarkable day, really, so I'm not sure why I got a little weepy as the lights of the City and the bridge began to twinkle out of the gloaming. But for the sound of the gulls, I could almost hear the earth turn. It was a nice sunset.
