Walk 15 minutes to Peacer for a slice of Italian pizza. The restaurant is open until 21:00 on weekdays, so you have plenty of time to eat before the sun dips below the horizon.

Bulrushes (College Road Interchange)
Return to the Bulrushes sculpture for the sunset moment. The low angle of the sun creates strong shadows and highlights the intricate cuts in the steel.

Stay at Peacer or head to the nearby Bloom Cafe Moseley (16 minutes away) for a warm drink to finish the evening.
