The Daily Post Challenge of Half-Light seemed like an easy one to find an image for. The time between sunset and darkness (and darkness to sunrise) offers some of the best opportunity for great photographs. But a poem, verse, song lyric to go along with that photograph?

I’m sure I had the cassette tape/CD playing on some trips to mountainous regions, and it still makes me think of places like this. ^
The song is called “Pictures of Home” and the lyrics go like this:
