Round Robin Photo Challenge - End of Summer

This is my first time posting a Round Robin challenge here.
I had been posting them before on the other, non-inactive blog.

The topic this time is End of Summer.
What says end of summer to you.

I decided to do this challenge at the last moment.
So, pressed for time, I looked on my way to work
Friday for school buses and dying sunflowers.

Seeing none of those, I continued on to work.

Then as I was leaving work, it occurred to me that the
biggest sign of summer's end for me is that the sun
no longer shines when I leave work.

So dark. So sad.

I think it is also what has put me in a bit
of a funk the past few days.
So I decided to take some photos on the way
home, of my now-dark commute.

51 minutes into the drive. Normally it takes about
40 minutes. Tonight I hit some traffic.
You can see that the time is 8:20 p.m.
and it is 69 degrees outside.

This is Pacific Coast Highway through Harbor City.
No worries. Pictures were taken while I was stopped at red lights.

The view from my side-view mirror.

This time I stopped the car and walked back to
the intersection to get the pictures.
That is a view of Crenshaw Boulevard.

Heading into my neighborhood. I never realized how dark
and kind of creepy it can look at just past 8 p.m.
It gets dark early once summer ends.
