A full moon over the superstructure

I worked all night on August eleventh 2005; the last pier-footing was poured full of concrete in a long span of around 30 hours. I wasn't used to the hours, and six pm to six am is difficult until you've done it for several days in a row. I like the money though; time and a half all night. I parked my truck in the dusty parking lot and walked down to the dock around 5:30. The sun was still up, but was headed down and getting ready for twilight.

It was almost time to catch the crew boat out onto the water. The low light was interesting, long shadows from the old train bridge next to the new Benecia Bridge, stretched out over the water. I hung over the edge of the boat to see the shadows that bumped along with the waves. City lights from Benecia and smaller towns along the Solano Bay, flickered on and off from afar. Slow traffic on the old George Miller bridge traveled across the skyway.
It's softer and mellower at night.
Everyone knows that it will be a long time before the sun circles around the Earth to the other side of the horizon. In the middle of the night it can feel like the sun has been down for a week.
