light pollution.

[photonduality]

Sometimes I wish I lived in a warm enough climate, far enough removed from the omnipresent glare of the city's lights reflected against the sky, that I could see Sirius and the stars of Orion unimpeded, remaining outside for hours on end. I don't spend enough time looking up, especially in the wintertime. The city permits none but the most limited of celestial views, and although I appreciate the harsh chill of dry winter air biting at my exposed skin, it's not exactly sustainable to stand outside, looking up, for extended periods... but it saddens me because those patterns which traverse the winter sky are some of my favourites.

I suppose I should write an actual update soon....
But, I have new books! and they are beseeching my attention at the moment...
