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.
