Yesterday's setting sun in car mirror

Reflections of the setting sun: 20th September  

After a day spent in Chinon, Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil and Bourgueil (reports to follow) under a largely grey sky, the sun finally came out towards the end of the day. We caught the final rays as we headed along the road from Sublaines to Luzillé.

A few minutes earlier on the A85 autoroute

In my rear view mirror the sun is going down
sinking behind bridges in the road
and I think of all the good things
that we have left undone
and I suffer premonitions
confirm suspicions
of the holocaust to come

Bleaker than this is hard to find.

Maybe Neil Young could do.

Hervé. Thank you – it is less bleak in the Loire!
