Tonight is shaping up to be a beautiful night. As the sun lowers into the western sky it casts long shadows and warm light. My thoughts turn to the long trip home from work –my late night– and the need for rest. If I were to drive toward home but continue on, I'd reach the Observatory by about 10:30. I would probably stay there for more than an hour, getting home at, say, 1:00 Thursday morning … a "work" day. I'll have to settle for a disappointing peek at the night from my none-too-dark stoop, then crawl into bed. Sadly, I should not answer though the sky is calling.
Such a disappointing decision; usually when the sky calls, a person has to stand up and pay attention!
Ironically, though I stayed home to get a good night's sleep, I woke at around 3:30 AM and couldn't get back to sleep. Back to bed at around 4:30 but got only light sleep at best til time to arise! I'd likely have done as well after all –and been happier– if I'd responded to the siren call of the night sky. — JG
I love the perfect shadow on the wall in this photo.
Looking at the back of that building, and this photo of it, takes me someplace quieter and more relaxed. Thanks! — JG
