Wale Street, Cape Town, At Dusk
Yesterday evening I was crossing Wale Street opposite St. George's Cathedral and noticed that they have just retarred the road. I took a moment - as one should - to let the 12-year-old in me out and spent about 30 seconds stomping around on the new tar with great joy (who knows what people thought, but who cares), while there was no fear of me being driven over by a large truck, since the road was cordoned off to let the tar dry out properly.
I then happened to look up the road towards Signal Hill, and saw the view. The sun had set a few minutes before, the lights had come on, and it was getting dark, but it wasn't quite there yet. It was one of those moments. I grabbed my camera, and took this shot.

Tarry, tarry night...
LOL. Well, that too! I didn't even think of it. I think I need to employ your services in future to write my titles.
Lucky it had already set by the time you got there, else you'd have been a bit tardy getting home :-)
I declare myself truly outclassed by my visitors...but that's okay...
Shall we tar & feather her?
*YOU* can do better than that. I declare myself momentarily reclassed.
(And the answer is "no", by the way, if I have any say in it.)
Another word for your Glossary "Tarred" Being a Capetonian whos has been in Australia for a bloody long time(am I still a Capetonian?)it took me years to stop calling a tarred road as such.In the wider world the process or tarring an existing road is called "resealing the bitumen".I find your use of language very stimulating.
Noted. Thank you. I will add it in a few days.
