Over Christmas we had the sheer pleasure of travelling through a few countries. I realize for my North American and Asian readers this seems very decadent, but for those of you living in continental Europe, padding through multiple borders is nothing special and often an every day occurrence.
In each place, whilst dark, we noticed and enjoyed a different night panorama, or should I say sky.
In one place it was dark blue and starry, another place the night sky was black, black, black and yet another evening offered a pink, orangey glow.
Clearly, the sky is affected by pollution, lighting, location and probably another ton of stuff, I am not aware of. I get that all that. But I enjoy the different colours. It is like a trademark of the city, it's own cosmic fingerprint.
So if you we're to go outside tonight, what colour would your sky be? Is it familiar? Does it offer you a sense of security? Do you feel safe and warm? What sensation do you feel as you look up?
If you don't know, I suggest it is time you go outside this evening and rediscover your cosmic garden. Is it bright, starry or colourful. Do you recognize it? How does it make you feel?
Go see tonight and let me know.
really good idea. I have often wished that at the cottage or beach I would have the energy and courage to wake up eralier and watch the sunrise...but I am never ever able to get up at that time. I think it happened once in my life and I loved it.
ReplyDeleteI love in the summer sleeping outside and watching the starry sky here in Canada. It's true I have never ever considred the skies in other places. I will now thanks.
