It’s Thursday, so let’s take a look at my From Equinox to Solstice: Photographing the Fall project.
This week:
So once again, I had to take this picture in the morning, but it’s at the same time, so I am officially saying that this experiment was always meant to have half of the pictures show my backyard at night, and half in the morning. (Don’t tell anyone that wasn’t how it happened and that I actually just had to work and couldn’t take the picture before the sun punched out.) So, technically, now the sky will be getting brighter (I’ll take my picture roughly around 9AM every Thursday), which I think does put a nice artistic spin on the whole project, you know, sky getting lighter even as the days get shorter.
Anyway, I don’t know if it’s just that this is one of my first morning pictures, but this one might be the first where you can actually see like, a real ray of sun. It hasn’t shown its face too much this fall, which is sad, because there were days when I could have used it. So yes, sun is here, finally!
Maybe one of the reasons we can see the sun more clearly is, yes, the snow. It’s back. And I think it’s here to stay. Who knows, really, everything is unpredictable. Moving on though, with snow comes frozen everything. Soil, trees, flowers, roads, water pipes. Maybe even hearts. Late fall will do that to you.
Otherwise, nothing happening here. But… maybe next week? Come back to see!
