Night

October 24night,moon

I am thankful for the night. Although I love daytime, night is a change of pace and the darkness all around removes semblances of the many colors, leaving subtleties only, as the day sky turns into royal blue, navy, and then black. And then the stars and moon shine brightly in the night sky. Nightime is the usual time for going out, to restaurants for dinner, for concerts, and sometimes football games. It is when we normally sleep and dream. The mysteriousness of night is the openess of day veiled over.

This is a photo of my neighbor Wilson's house at dusk/night with a full moon overhead. It is still early enough in the evening for there to be a deep blue sky overhead. It is my favorite time for night photographs.

mysterious

foreboding

dreaming

baby blue

turns to royal

turns to navy

then black

waves of abundance

waves of fear

waves of intimacy

fill the night sky

as she changes

her dress

from warm

to cold

a gown of silkiness

a gown of mistiness

a gown masked.
