"Just me" - Norman
and a little piece of trash...

tipping into the darkness

September 26, 2022. Sunrise 7:01. San Francisco, CA.

No more teetering. Here we go.
Yesterday sunrise was at 7:00 and sunset at 7:01. Today the times are switched- Sunrise is at 7:01 and Sunset is at 7:00. Nearly balanced, with 6 seconds longer in the dark than the light

A Rare View

September 26, 2022. Sunrise 7:09 AM. Arches National Park, UT.

"It's rare for Richard & me to witness the sunrise but seeing it at the Windows in Arches National Park was worth setting the alarm for".
- Elisabeth Beaird and Richard Marriott
It happens so quickly from the quiet dawn of before (7:09) through the actual moment (7:19) to morning (7:21)

We’re teetering

September 25, 2022. Sunset 7:01 PM. San Francisco, CA.
On the edge of balance between endings and beginning; light and darkness.

Rosh Hashana year 5783 begins this evening at sundown. L’Shanah Tovah! Happy New Year to everyone who celebrates the beginning of this 5783 year.

And for an even finer point of balance—like those last few ounces on the doctor’s scale--
While the Equinox brought a generic point of planetary balance regarding the amount of daylight to darkness, the Equilux (literally Equal light) is the fine tuning of that balance based on where you actually live - choose Sunrise and Sunset calendar, then enter you town

Hard to call it around here. Today we have 1:30 more light than night. Tomorrow, we will have actually crossed over into the darkness by 6 seconds. Your call. I prefer to wait until the last minute to acknowledge that inevitable creep into darker mornings and earlier sunsets.
