The Twilight effect brushes off as Britain is captured at 9:25pm

Twilight has never looked so good – as this remarkable collection of snapshots shows Britain at dusk.

The pictures, all taken from exactly 9:25pm on Thursday July 4, show brief glimpses of life across the country.

Founder Chick Mailey, who opened the Unit 23 centre in 2002, said: “”It’s had a big impact on my life and my family.

“All the guys who come to ride for a weekend and end up moving to Dumbarton for six months or a year just to be near Unit 23, some work here and we all ride here, that’s why we call it UnitLife.

“We are a big family of people brought together by our love of what we do, and we do what we love.”

These remarkable pictures were all captured in the new Nokia Lumia 925 smartphone – which comes with a low-light sensitive 8.7megapixel camera.

PureView technology, Optical Image Stabilization and Carl Zeiss optics ensure the phone provides unparalleled photography in low light conditions.
