A Different Light

We're delving into color this week, and it started with the Albuquerque airport. I can't help taking the color, forms, and light that is taken for granted. I hope each day is as nice as this one. We'll see.

 

Under the Smoke Cloud

For the past few days we've been living with the smoke from Canada's forest fires. So, the landscape has taken on a warmer, diffused light. And it has brought a quiet to the life outside. You can't ignore other's misfortune when you share their effects. 
 

Still Going

As I turned to take the record shot of each day's Yard in the Yard, I realized the light had changed. Or, more clearly, the leaves filling out were creating shadow and patterns that didn't exist in the spring light. The Yards were blending into the landscape, receding.

Why We Love Light

This hot summer has cooled today, a welcome change. I followed the sunlight around my living room's east, south, and west windows. Then I remembered why summer shadows were so fluid. The leaves, of course, shapes melting together in lovely blobs.

Using Light

Set between the Portrait Gallery and the American Museum, this atrium (?) has the most glorious light. It is soft, hushed almost, and still. There is a wonderful grid of transluscent material to the undulating roof. We had lunch here. And we spoke quietly.
