Beautiful Morning Light
Ah, I haven’t really written much for this blog in a while. I know it’s lame, but I’m just lazy. Also, in the summer, I don’t think that much, and not much happens so there isn’t too much to write about.
Well, I’ve got something.
The outdoors are at their most beautiful around 5:30 am.
Lately, I’ve been sleeping mostly during the day and being awake at night. It’s sort of what I looked forward to all through out the school year. It was a tremendously lame thing to have to wake up 7 and then go to bed at 11 or 12 in order to be awake at school. The problem is that my sleep cycle doesn’t seem to like the 8:16 ratio of sleeping to waking hours. It prefers something more like 8:20. I’d lie awake for hours and fall asleep a lot later than I’d go to bed and that’d suck because when I’d wake up, I’d only have had like 4 hours of sleep.
During the summer, I let my sleep cycle do what it wants because I have no obligations. As a result, my sleeping keeps on getting pushed back and here I am at 5:40, outside with my laptop awake looking at the way the light works on things.
It’s really something in my opinion.
Cool blue light tints everything with ambience that looks haunting and elegant. However, the sun is just barely bright enough at this point so that shiny speculars get very close to their full white blur. It’s really wonderful lighting to me. I’m waiting for the sun to rise. It’s somethign I’ve been meaning to see for a while and somehow have been missing consistently.
If you’re up at 5 am some time, go outside. If you appreciate light, you’ll thank yourself. I guess the thrill would be lost on a lot of people though. Most people aren’t really very interested in lighting quite the same way I am. Light is the most beautiful thing I think that nature has to offer.
Sometimes, it’s worrth going outside for.
