Evanston: light
Evanston: light
The perfect weather here continues. Sunny, warm, dry days succeeding one another. I’ve checked the buoys and there isn’t much wind. Still would have been enough for a spinnaker.
I walked down to the lake this morning. Leaves are turning and falling. Geese honking from the cemetery.
I had planned to walk along the lake and come back through the cemetery; but once I stepped into direct sunlight at South Beach, I had to turn back to shade. My damaged eye is hypersensitive to bright light, which has made one of the qualities about our condo that I like most--that it gets lots of light--a disadvantage. My day room is our second bedroom. I still use it, and am typing this there at the moment, but with shades down. I can’t be in the living room, with its western exposure, for the hour before sunset, even with the shades drawn.
I’d given myself the assignment to take a photograph today. I took a camera with me on my walk, but saw nothing interesting.
When I returned, I noticed the statue on Carol’s desk. The other elements of the composition came about by chance.
