Sunset, Friday, 5 March 2010
William Theodore Van Doren. Sunset from Stony Point, Albemarle County, Va. Oil on watercolor block, 16 x 20.
Henry David Thoreau:
Unless you watch, you do not know when the sun goes down. It is like a candle extinguished without smoke. A moment ago you saw that glittering orb amid the dry oak leaves in the horizon and now you can detect no trace of it.
In our case we have contrails for smoke.

This probably wasn’t clear: I like contrails.

And smoke, too, for that matter.
