Magic Light

[Smiling JOe]

well, yes, that too, the killer sunset of course. the light i was actually referring to initially is a special, fleeting point in the day just before the sunset hour, when the colors and contrast picks up noticably. it's usually still pretty bright out at that point. look for it, it comes on suddenly and only lasts for about an hour or less. see i do graphics for a living, i guess i notice things like that. i love the play of light through color. thats why i love stained glass, too.

Kurt, speaking of seeing the magic light, can sound recordings be attached to these photos on this board? If so, I will take my puter down and catch the peaceful sounds of the waves coming in to share.

I can host it on the site.

I think the light is pretty magical, too. We live in the city in a neighborhood dating from the 1920s, so you can imagine the size of our trees. Great big old oaks and maples everywhere. I wouldn't wish them away for anything, but you simply can't get a wide expanse of sky for all the branches that block it! And add to that the fact that Indianapolis is as flat as a pancake. There are no vista points unless you drive out of the city.

That's why I love the light at the beach. There's so much of it, all unbroken and stretching as far as the eye can see. I don't think I could ever get tired of looking into the broad horizons at the shoreline.

And the moon! I don't think there's anything more fantastic that watching it rise, especially when it's low in the sky and so full of color. Throw in an outdoor movie at Rosemary Beach or Seaside, and I'm in heaven.

I like all times of the day, but this 10minutes is usually my favorite, too.
