A proper downer for someone who locked their bike up in Northampton town centre.
As it happens, I took this photo yesterday morning whilst walking back home.

A couple of piccies of the low setting sun taken tonight on the way home from work.

This tree used to be quite high, now it's lower than @coffeejo's centre of gravity

This chap was cycling down the Washlands path as I was walking up it...

It's certainly a 'high'

And the Sun was low.

Ah but strictly speaking your sun is high...so only half scores.

Awesome pic though

Very nice...an early contender?

My sun is lower than your sun.

The highs and lows of yesterday evening's ride down the East Lancs Road path to Haydock, not all easily captured on camera. The path always gives two contrasting views at once with a duel carriageway on one side and fields on the other.
Highs :
The blue sky and the stunning sunset, the way everything glowed and caught the light, the long shadows of the trees and clouds on the stubble fields, the sun glinting through the trees, the clean lines of the freshly ploughed fields, new apples on the tree at my turn round point at Haydock.
Lows:
The Wind!! The traffic. My stiff neck.

Three views of the same spot

This is my turn round point, a busy motorway junction yet a picturesque apple tree and countryside too :

I've photographed this tree stump before and it always catches my eye, despite the fact that it's so close to the road and on a corner of a crossing point but I loved the way it glowed in the sun this time:

They aren't likely to be winners but I thought I'd share these anyway:

The figurative and literal high point from the commute home today. Enjoying the view from Lyth Hill in the late afternoon sunshine.

Some, some smashing shots entered already, lots of focus on "low sun"...must be the time of year. so far we have a few contenders..

@Dave 123 high shine, low tide.

@User14044 High Sign, Low bike

@Supersuperleeds lovely low sun shot

@Nibor, another low sun shot...on glassy canal

and then I have a problem between
@mybike, definitely some height there...but is that sun too high?

and
@Alan H nice low sun...but lost all the height.

tricky choice....what to do.....

still plenty of hours left to cram in a winner folks!!
