This morning we walked down to the river. The air was different. Cooler, lighter fresher. After weeks of stifling dead air, filled with stinging invisible dispersants, I felt safer.
Up at dawn we walked down to the river to see the sun come up. How strange to walk with flip flops on concrete sidewalks across asphalt rivers in the dark!!
Actually I just like to go down to the river
because there I see a stretch of Nature
devoid of streets, buildings and
human activity.
We sat on the grassy banks.
And we waited. And this is how it unfolded.
With the naked eye there was no rings of color as seen here.
Just a brightening of the far horizon with
a larger and larger golden aura. And thats it.
The end of another summer. Still a few more weeks no doubt of stifling heat and humidity. But things are winding down, Fall is in the air and if it weren't for the new season ahead full of cool brisk windy days and the promise of nights of easy sleep, I think these last days of the hottest summer ever, would be unbearable.
