dailybell: Where is Du Bois, ILL?

dailybell

2008 was the inaugural year in an ongoing, aspirational project dedicated to the observation of the sun every time it crosses the horizon and to sharing the awareness of that moment with others while ringing bells. It is based on the conviction that something as inarguable as the movement of the earth can be used as a point of unity and awareness among large groups of people who might otherwise find it impossible to agree.

Where is Du Bois, ILL?

Sunset 8:01PM. Miles above the earth

It said 6:00 on my iPod when I snapped this photo across the aisle of that last bit of sun coming in the little window. At about 3 1/2 hours into a 5-hour flight from San Francisco to NY, I think “somewhere above DuBois, Ill” is a good guess for where we might have been at the time.
