If you seek a longer gloaming,
You cannot just go roaming.

Today's word from Merriam-Webster was "gloaming", but it is a *rule*, no words previously used as WotD may be used as WotD again. The background image here was used when gloaming was the WotD. Adding the silhouettes was today's image modification. The airplane is the hint that running isn't enough. You need to travel as fast as the Earth spins to keep dusk in sight.
