I fell behind again in keeping this site updated; the start of the semester is my chosen villain to blame for this. I am breaking this absence of posts with this post with two images of a sunrise from a trip to New Jersey a few days ago (on August 29), during which I was able for a few hours at a time to fool myself into thinking that the summer was still going on and my semester had not really started yet. Besides the featured image at the top, there is also this image of the Sun rising:
One more photography post today: a shot of mine from last night’s Philly Photowalk, led by Trey Ratcliff.
From time to time, I share my photography here. This is an orchid photo from Longwood Gardens last night. Click or tap on it for the full size version.
Sunset. I have taken many photos of the sunset from the guest room window, and, lately, from the bathroom window. Reading dystopian novels, as I have been doing lately, albeit slowly, might be connected to my sunset obsession by an over-eager psychoanalyst. I share Nabokov’s opinion about such analysts however. So I will keep shooting the sunset as art. I will only think of it as presaging the coming ecological disaster and the twilight of civilization when I am in a really dark mood. During the day, I will do what I can to convince people, using my knowledge, talents, and position, to do their bit to avoid the disaster. During the night, I may post more rambling paragraphs like this one.
And now, please excuse me as I return to Annihilation by Jeff Vandermeer, a book lent to me by my friend Troy, which somehow has captured me more than I expected before I started it.
