Dalkeith Country Park Orangery is lit up at night. I was given special permission to be there at sunset.

I walked down from Dalkeith High Street as vehicular access closed at night. I was in position before sunset. As darkness fell, I painted light with my torch onto the Orangery to suppliment the lights that were on as normal.

I love photography during the blue hour after sunset, before the sky goes dark. With it being almost summer solstice, sunset was 9.58pm. I was there until 11pm and sky was still in blue hour.

Thank you to Sharleen at Dalkeith Country Park for arranging the access.
