Lighting Observation
1. Sunday, April 20, 8pm – Jamaica Air Train
2. I was coming back to Hofstra from Buffalo (taking the Air Train to Jamaica Station so I could get back) and the sun was on its last leg of setting.
3. As I was exhaustedly leaning against the pole of the Air Train, I turned to look out of the windows as we left the Airport towards the train station. The sky was dark with the oncoming night, but there was a thin strip of bright orange light softened by softer fading red light. It was altogether a small line across the horizon. It was almost sad – light the sunlight was doing anything it could to hold on just a little bit longer before succumbing completely to the night.
