Life with Andrea

One of the wonders of the place where we live is the sky. I am sure that in Big Sky Country, people love the sky, and I have heard that in Hawaii, people love to watch the evening sky. But here, too, it is splendid.

When the sun sets, on a day with no rain (don’t tell me there are no such days, I’ve seen some!), you can watch the fall of night. Many of these days have a surreal, Maxfield Parrish type of light - pink and yellow, and backlit from no one knows where. Even when the sky is not yet pink, the buildings develop a pinkish hue. And, in the east, the sky is dark as night. In the west, there is daylight to be seen. One stands in the cusp of time. Here, you can see as the chariot of night rides across the sky. Perhaps the Greeks were right - the Gods control such wonder as we are allowed to see.

This is a picture of Caity's - after the fall of night.
