noon
There is neither chilliness nor uncomfortable heat ; one feels a delightful sense of freedom and that it is good to be alive . This is really the best and most enjoyable time on a summer 's day . On Mars there was rather more warmth but a greater sense of exhilaration . Of course , from near noon to about 3 P.M. it was much warmer . Usually a lovely rosy effulgence is seen in the atmosphere in the mornings and evenings . As a rule , sunrise and sunset effects are much more ethereal and more beautiful than those on the earth , the tints being more delicate and the whole appearance of the sky less broadly marked . It is as the difference between the crude broad effects of a coloured poster and the delicate effects of a highly-finished painting .
