October 8th
We report: the sun leaks into the sky, and we find its echoes in the clouds for a long time after. We hear the hiss of high voltage arcing as we watch, and we wonder if some turning off and back on is in order. Some of the troubleshooting pages are missing from the manual.
October 7th
We report as the tide comes in under the sunrise: there is more gold in the sun now that autumn is settling in. Dawn pours in one drop at a time, and remains there in the air for a long time. The moon is still in the sky, facing the sun in an age-old standoff.
October 6th
We report: we stumble upon the full moon, and out of nowhere, we get a sense of scale for a fraction of a second. We get vertigo as we realise how big the moon is, and how far away it is. Then, a cloud floats in front of it, and the moon becomes a yellow circle in the sky again.
October 5th
We report as the storm is getting away: we did not stumble upon this rainbow by chance. We noticed the sudden onslaught of rain, and the way light was pouring down at the same time. The rainbow was exactly where we expected it to be; we had only thought it would be bigger.
October 4th
We report: in another place, the sky remains this blue most of the day. The clouds appear out of thin air, and fade back without causing much disruption, barely approaching the sun during their short-lived existences. The air is dry, even quite warm when we stand in the sunshine.
October 4th - 11:25 PM
11:25 PM: we trudge along fresh puddles on the way home. There is light from somewhere far away keeping the horizon awake.
October 4th - 10:39 PM
10:39 PM: the fog rises, real fog that wraps around our legs and trips us when we are not paying attention. With the sky sitting on our shoulders,
October 4th - 9:08 PM
9:08 PM: that we left behind at dawn. We hear the temperature drop and the humidity grow in the louder sounds of traffic. In the shadows,
October 4th - 8:00 PM
8:00 PM: the grey clouds dissolve into the blue of dusk, losing shade after shade in the ocean. We return to the cold
October 4th - 7:16 PM
7:16 PM: we forget the day must end. The colours turn once more, dragged into existence by the low sun, the late hour. Soon,
October 4th - 6:34 PM
6:34 PM: so from there on, we have to keep watching more closely. The details become more important. While the minutes pass,
October 4th - 5:11 PM
5:11 PM: a deep breath in the chaos of this October day; the quiet lasts for a little while, as long as any quiet lasts in the sky,
October 4th - 4:07 PM
4:07 PM: when the light pierces through the clouds, it is impossible to ignore. It is like a second sunrise,
October 4th - 12:47 PM
12:47 PM: but the sun is here now, a dazzling presence overhead that washes everything out. We take a walk
October 4th - 12:36 AM
12:36 AM: the moon rose lightlessly behind the clouds, and is just now showing
October 4th - 11:51 AM
11:51 AM: is still pushing and pulling, and the sky keeps changing. There is a depth to the air, not quite warm
October 4th - 10:33 AM
10:33 AM: that we are due for a storm in the afternoon. We hum, unwilling to form an opinion on the subject, but the wind from last night
October 4th - 9:19 AM
9:19 AM: the ocean over everything else. We are watching small crabs burying themselves into the sand. Our expert thinks
October 4th - 8:44 AM
8:44 AM: the blue of the sky is an intense turquoise at the zenith, almost like it is making up for something. We hear
October 4th - 7:58 AM
7:58 AM: but the day comes alive that much brighter for the chill in the wind. The sunrise is too quick for how long we waited for it. We blink, and
