Sunset in Newcastle?

Sometimes things happen entirely unexpected.

So was last week's business trip to Ireland that got me stopping over in Germany as well as the UK. A colleague of mine couldn't go, so I had to pack my bags and leave within 24 hours.

Apart from staying a week in Carlow (a small town an hour's drive away from Dublin) I spent a day in Newcastle as well as the weekend at home in Germany.

While taking a walk on the nice coastline of Newcastle, I was lucky enough to witness an awesome natural phenomenon: initially we thought the sun is setting, but after a minute we realised that it was actually the moon rising on the horizon (click and enlarge the pictures for better viewing).
