Purple Among the Grass

A duck glides across still water glowing with golden evening reflections. Dark vertical reflections from riverside structures stretch across the surface, while ripples gently distort the light into abstract patterns.

Crossing the Light

Hanging Lamps

A train stands at Monasterevin railway station at dusk, viewed from an overhead footbridge. Platform lights glow against the deep blue evening sky, while a band of orange sunset lingers on the horizon. A crescent moon hangs above the station as the last light of day fades into night.
