Moonlight

The moon the other night was extremely bright shining through my window. At first I thought it was the street light but realized my house isn't near a street light so that couldn't be it. I looked out the window and saw that the moon was right in front of my window. I sat there and stared for awhile amazed that the reflection of something so far away could still be so bright. Light does some incredible things.

Sunset

Growing up in California I have seen my fare share of incredible sunsets. That is something I didn't realize I would miss moving to Florida but after not seeing them very often I started to realize that I miss seeing them. Last night there was an incredible sunset and it made me extremely happy to just sit outside and stare at it. The colors that occur when the sun starts dipping below the horizon are unbelievable and still to this day blow me away that the sky can change so much like that.

Wave Particle Duality

It's always interesting to me when you look at light coming through a gap of some sort and you can see the beam up close but the further from the source it gets you can't really tell that it was beam and instead it just looks like light filling the room. This happens all over my house and now I have found myself verbally saying oh look at the wave particle duality that is occurring which always seems to give me some interesting looks.

Dark Night

The other day I was watching TV and a storm warning showed up in the bottom corner. I decided to go outside and see what was going on. It was about 9 at night so it was already pretty dark. When I went outside I could clearly see that the sky to the west was drastically darker than the sky on the east. It was very interesting to be able to see the different shades of darkness that the storm was creating in the already dark night sky.

Flashing Sun

This morning I was on my way to the gym and I noticed out of the corner of my eye something flashing in my rearview mirror. Now normally this isn't a good thing and so it kind of caught me off guard especially since I wasn't doing anything illegal. I looked up and there was no one behind me but every time I would look away I could still see the flashing light. It was at this point that I realized the morning sun was behind me and every tree that I drove by quickly blocked out the sun causing the sensation of the sun flashing in my mirror.

Light Beam

Today I was cleaning out my ducks pen, there is a hole in the top to drain rain water down into his little pool. It wasn't raining today but yet there was still something draining down into the pool. It was sunlight and it was only shining through that one little hole which made a perfect beam down into the water where it was then reflected all throughout the pool. I stopped and stared at it for a minute just examining what it was doing and how cool it was.

Today I commented on Emmanuel Cabreras blog.
