white sky
This might sound like a really strange observation, especially if you've never noticed it yourself, but just bear with me.
When I'm lying in bed at night and just before I switch off the light and attempt to go to sleep, if I look at the sky outside (as opposed to the sky inside) it's dark. As you would expect. It's a midnight blue, or an attempt at black, which it never fully achieves because of the city lights. Either way, the sky is dark at night. However, once I turn off the light the sky turns white. Not a wow-did-you-just-fall-in-a-bucket-of-milk kinda white,
but a sort of grey white. A dirty white, yet a beautiful colour all the same. I'm not tripping on acid like a Dutch raver, honestly. When the light is switched off, the sky is a dirty beautiful grey white. Then when the lights back on, suddenly the sky is black again.
Why is that?? Maybe there's some annoyingly obvious, dull explanation to my phenomenon. I call it my phenomenon because I doubt if many people have noticed it, or stopped to care before they drift off into their carefree REM sleeps. Maybe it's not such a funny observation, or anything particular, but I think it's beautiful. So I look forward to turning off my light at night.
