how the light gets in
Oct. 21st, 2016 08:02 amAll this week I've been coming into the office, turning on the light if necessary, unlocking my computer, and thinking "crud, one of the overhead fluorescents is dead, it's darker in here than it ought to be."
Then I remember that the overhead fluorescents are not actually over head but off to one side. I don't notice because I'm right up next to the big window, and normally the ambient sun makes up the balance. But between the autumn cloud-cover and the later sunrises, it's suddenly a bit of an issue.
Sunreturn may have a solid physical meaning for me this year, in addition to the symbolic.
Lots of good cloud on the mountains this morning. I'm going to miss the view from the tower after we move. Worth it, though.
