A magical time of the day when day turns into night, the sun finally drops below the horizon and the appearance of the Evening Star (I think it’s Venus). Taken at Dulan Sugar Factory.

It just occurred to me yesterday that sugar mill featured prominently in my past. I spent a high school year in Finch Hatton (Queensland, Australia). Finch Hatton had Cattle Creek Sugar Mill, which sadly closed in 1990.  The town’s name Finch Hatton comes from Henry Finch-Hatton, who was related to Denys Finch-Hatton, the dashing hunter played by Robert Redford in “Out of Africa”.
