dailybell: 3/20/22 - 3/27/22

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.

somewhere between

March 22, 2022. Sunset (between 6:40 and 7:30 PM)

"My son Seth took this sunset pic yesterday somewhere between LA (7:30 PM—daylight savings time) and Tempe (6:40 PM Standard Time)… He noted the purple sky… Wow!"
- Joe P
It was within a 10-minute margin timewise (and over 300 miles) between the 2 places, but what a difference playing with the clocks makes in our sense of when the days ends…

Happy Equinox - going into the light

Matt crosses the street to be with Norman for the Equinox. We’re already spending 10 more minutes in the sunlight each day than in the dark—
What do you do that takes 10 minutes?
