Day 46 - June 29, 2010 - Dusk in my City

“Each morning sees some task begin, Each evening sees it close; Something attempted, something done, Has earned a night's repose” - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Recently, I've been waking up early to go to work around 6:30. Twice a week, I open the day care with one of the other workers. The sky and mountains look about like this when I leave the house. It's really rather calming. There's nobody on the roads and I can listen to some John Mayer, Ingrid Michaelson, or Chris Tomlin. The morning has a very different feeling than the evening, though. It is a feeling of expectation. What needs to be done? What will happen?

I also close once a week on Fridays. This is what the scene looks like when I arrive at home. I'm pretty sure the sun lights the sky in this way to allow us to relax. Like mood lighting. It sits on the edge of the horizon in the morning expectantly to wake us up and lazily sinks below the mountains in the evening, leaving a trail of soft light behind to send us off to sleep.
