dailybell: 12/9/18 - 12/16/18

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.

Riding the Light Wave

December 14, 2018. Sunset 4:50 PM.
Albany, CA.

Walking along the BART tracks in Albany, CA with my friend Rae as we celebrate the last day of the earliest sunsets of the year. All along this latitude, we are already expanding the light at the end of the day. Sadly, the sun will continue to rise later and later, (even after the Solstice) holding back the full expansion of the day. It will be well into the 1st and 2nd weeks of January before the sunrise begins to shine an earlier light on day. Then off we go!

Sunset Mourning

Chicago, IL.

I am a bit mellow because my mom died this past Wednesday. I took this picture of the sunrise in Chicago suburbs the next day. I wanted to share it with you.
