Recently I have been finding myself walking later in the day. I have been busy with Christmas cards and so I am not leaving the house as early as I usually do. But I am finding that I am really enjoying finding new photographs in the same old places, and the difference is in the lighting and the mood. What is astounding, of course, is my SONY a7 III camera which is so sensitive, I can literally take photographs in the dark. This scene was actually darker than this as seen with my own eyes. But cranking up the sensitivity of my camera to 6,400 ISO allows me to shoot in these conditions, and the built in lens stabilizer allows me to hand-hold the camera with exposures of 1/8 second or even longer. Coming from a guy who used to shoot Tri-X black & white film at ISO 400, these new digital cameras are astounding!

Lovely and peaceful photo. I don't know much about cameras but when you compare 400 ISO to 6400 ISO the new technology is astounding. Joan
Looks cold and somber but I like the curving fence and the hanging branches. Betsey
This is a very good photo of one of my favorite and memorable spots on the planet. In addition to this Sea Cliff scene by the water at dusk, what really grabbed me was the how sections of railing glistened from moisture caused by nearby street lights. Well done!
Love the calm water and gray color of the photo. The lights on the distant shore add some mystery to the photo. Trace
Thank you all for your comments. They all reflect the reason I stopped to photograph this scene.
