AT DAY'S END IN NORMANDIE



And I thought the Florida coast sunsets were dramatic! This is a coucher de soleil on a calm Sunday evening in the Normandie countryside.

Vocabulary
un coucher de soleil:  a sunset
à la tombée de la nuit:  at nightfall
le crépuscule:  the twilight, dusk

Citation
Les soleils couchants 
Revêtent les champs,
Les canaux, la ville entière,
D'hyacinthe et d'or. -- Charles Baudelaire, Les Fleurs du Mal


The sunsets
Don the fields,
The canals, the entire town,
In hyacinth and gold.
