Early September Sunset Over the Hills at Home

Outdoor patio with a fire pit and seating overlooks a hazy mountain landscape at sunset, behind a black fence.

Didn't go anywhere tonight — just out to the back patio to watch the sun drop behind the ridge, which is what early September is good for here in San Marcos.

The marine layer was sitting low toward the coast, a flat white shelf below the far hills, and it never burned off. The valley under it went hazy while the neighborhood stayed clear. Sun went down right over the shoulder of the hill across from us, a little north of where it was earlier in the summer.

Stayed out through the whole thing. Once it got dark the houses down the slope switched on one by one, and somebody below us had string lights going over their patio.
