Light Observation 12
1) April 4, ~7:30PM, my backyard
2) A suburb and a town in the distance
3) My house is at the top of a mountain, so from my backyard I can see other hills. I was walking my dog when I stopped and noticed that this was a rare time of the year. Because the weather had only recently warmed up, the buds on the trees below my backyard had not come out yet (it’s a hill–the trees are a woodsy area lower on the hill, it’s a difficult visual to explain), but the sunsets were happening at a much later time, so I could see the next hills in the distance pretty clearly in the light. There was a stunning sunset developing, and on top of that I could see a small suburb on the hill next to us (it’s really just one street–again, hard to visualize) and the town behind it, which already had the streetlamps on and all the shopping centers had their neon signs lit up. I felt like there was movement, like I was being drawn backyard from the action.
