Dusk Mosaic Contest

The other day my older son showed me a list of questions his class was supposed to use for a writing exercise, but didn't have to because they were "impossible!"  I thought they were lovely.  My favorite was "Which is louder, sunrise or sunset?"  That question has tickled me every time I've seen either this week, so I definitely wanted to participate in Stitched in Color's Dusk mosaic contest.

My entries:

1- Shouting sunset:  our sunsets have been glorious and assertive lately.  The eastern half of the sky will be dark, while the sun spills loud bright golds and reds in the west:

2 - Whisper sunset:  for the time after the sun has dipped below the horizon, but its fading light still colors the sky.
