winterlight.
i love the sunset, here. i’ve moved the bed and when i’m sitting upright on a day off from work, the only glow in the room is from the tv which i’ve put on pause and the computer i ran out to grab, ran because it’s cold and i need to be under the blanket. so i look out from where my head goes in this bed and it’s the crack between the curtain and the window, and behind this house i see the back of a six story apartment building that is brick painted white but it’s the dark rusted fire escapes that give it the right touch. reminds me i’m in a city after all.
i fall in love with the way the top of the building hits the sky when the light is like this, when it’s a thin pale glow, when the colors are muted, when everything is taken down, taken back, a notch. he asks me what i’m looking at and i say, “nothing”, as though it is my secret. and i watch the lights go on and off in those homes, and i wonder what’s going on inside. and i watch the clouds go by against the building, against the bare tree branches. my secret slice of world.

I love the light at this time of year; it has a quality of its own…
very nice.
The evening twilight that comes at dusk is one of my absolute favourite times of the day. I love how you’ve so beautifully captured this moment. May this place continue to bring you great joy and thanks for sharing it with us.
We all need our own slice of the world every now and again. Yours sounds exceelent, even if it is chilly 😉
