The dust from the old road was caught in the fading light. The jeep bounced along the path, slowly ascending the mountain.

Two people rode inside, neither watching the magnificent sunset.

They stopped at a flat, grassy area. Leisurely, they unloaded their supplies from the car. They laid the blanket on the grass, brought the picnic basket holding the wine, then sat down beside each other, facing the east.

They talked as it got dark, waiting for the main event.

The moon rose in its majesty, full and bright. They watched, in awe.

They had never been much for sunsets.

I quite like moonrises. The mountains get this ethereal glow just before it comes up.
