The view from here
I’ve been working in the Longyearbyen library almost every day. I stand at the windows facing southeast. When I first arrived at the beginning of September, the morning sun poured through the window, soaking and warming me with light. And then, last week, I realized the sun moved behind the mountain before its light fell through the library windows.
These four photos were taken at 0916 on the mornings of 18, 21, 25, and 26 September. In a week’s time, the sun slipped below the ridge and out of view. It still rides the horizon behind the mountains, and in 25 days, it will drop below the sea, not to return for four months.
Stay warm, kiddo …
Oh yeah…
You are my sunshine!
❤️❤️❤️
Wow. The concept of the sun slipping away for such a long stretch is so foreign to me. I know the chance to settle and focus is what you need. Wishing you peace, warm slippers and hot tea as you enjoy your time.
