Black Sky with Alpenglow

January 26, 2010 by ajw93

Yesterday was one of those odd winter days…the January Thaw.  65 blonking degrees, sort of rainy, and very windy.  The wacky barometric pressure made my hands ache.  It was all very odd.  The oddest of all, though, was the light when I left work.  Black skies!  But still there was alpenglow on the tops of the buildings from the sun waaaayyyyy off on the western horizon.

By the time I got off the train, all this strange light had turned itself into a gorgeous sunset, with a weirdly-bright waxing moon reflecting off huge, billowing clouds. I had to capture the view from the platform before running off to the bus stop.

  • Lyric of the day: It’s amazing what we can do with love, with some matches and gasoline, do with love
  • Flashback of the day: When the sky turned black black black during Henry Rollins’ set, then went blue again when he was done
  • As I write this, what’s playing? Seven Mary Three’s “Cumbersome,” off American Standard.
