Autumnal light
Since moving to England, Maurene and I have noticed the quality of light as evening approaches in the autumn. It is difficult to describe, but it has a particular quality that is serene and has a calming quality when one slows down enough to actually notice it.
In Bath, with all of the honey-brown stone and steep hills, the evening light takes on an even more luminous quality. I was walking in the city centre this evening and looking up toward the row houses that fill the hillsides in all directions. I again felt that rather unifying feeling that comes when we observe the light phenomenon. Wish I could capture it in a photograph. But that would defeat the purpose, wouldn't it?

Now that I'm working 7-4 it's sunrise as I go to work. Absolutely beautiful with the fog on the river. Almost every morning I wish I had my camera to take a picture of it, but I know a picture wouldn't do it justice.
