Itâs clear why Marco Polo proclaimed Sri Lanka as one of the best islands in the world. Sri Lanka is one of those places where history seems to fade into the realm of legend. Sri Lankaâs second highest mountain, Adamâs Peak is said to be the very place where Adam set foot on earth, having been banished from heaven.
Evening in its primary meaning is the period of the day between afternoon and night. Though the term is subjective, evening is typically understood to begin a few hours before sunset, when temperatures begin to fall, and lasts until just after nightfall, when complete darkness has been reached.
Afternoon is a time when the sun is descending from its daytime peak. During the afternoon, the sun moves from roughly the center of the sky to deep in the west. In late afternoon, sunlight is particularly bright and glaring, because the sun is at a low angle in the sky. The standard working time in most industrialized countries goes from the morning to the late afternoon or eveningâarchetypally, 9 am to 5 pmâso the latter part of this time takes place in the afternoon.
