Lights in the Sky / 1 October 2007

October 16th, 2007

Up before sunrise and standing in a parking lot. I looked up in the sky and saw patterns of lights. A very wide soft, shaft like a searchlight to the west, and delicate ripples of clouds to the southeast. A few seconds later I looked again. They were gone. Mirages. Probably due to the sharp and uneven lighting in the parking lot that surrounded me. Or I was just too tired.

I have discovered that most of the beauties of travel are due to the strange hours we keep to see them…” William Carlos Williams
