Twilight, with high-altitude clouds, and a full moon. Something about that combination feels like I've moved to another planet, or slipped into some future time on this one.

Dawn, however, is a little too early for this night owl ;)

Beautiful imagery of dusk there.. I love being outside during those times of twilight, both evening and morning, to enjoy the day/night transition, the sky colors, the air.

I have a new reason to be outside when the Sun is below the horizon- one of my childhood interests was astronomy, and I've recently had a resurgence in this interest. And, dusk & dawn are the only times when satellites in low Earth orbit are visible, including the ISS (International Space Station), which can be brighter than the planet Venus sometimes. I'm enjoying stargazing, with or without my 11x80 binoculars.

Sounds like you're in a colder climate than me. Here in SoCal, it doesn't get cold enough for snow and ice (here in the coastal areas, anyway), although, rarely, it can dip into the low 30s on clear nights, for a touch of frost on grassy areas. Regardless, being outside is something I'm enjoying more and more, as I get older. Staring at a computer screen for hours a day is not something I want to do for the rest of my life. The Universe revealed in the night sky beckons..
