Nautical twilight, from my kitchen window.

Sorry; I've been a bit under the weather this last week. A pity, because the weather has been wonderful, and I'm not out in it. 

Here's the first light that reached me Monday morning, from my window, at 7 AM. At 7, we were still in Nautical Twilight; the sun was more than 6° below the horizon. (That's assuming that the horizon is at sea level; here, of course, the light has to jump over the hills across the way besides.) Civil Twilight started at 7:08. Sunrise was at 7:41

House plants inside, cosmos, still blooming, outside. And then Quadra Island, across the channel.

I should be back on track by tonight.

Lo siento; he tenido que descansar esta semana pasada. Una lástima, porque el clima ha sido muy bueno, asoleado y fresco a la vez, y no he podido aprovecharlo.

Esta es la primera luz del dia que tocó mi ventana el lunes, a las 7 de la mañana. A esa hora, seguíamos en crepúsculo matutino náutico, o sea, el sol estaba a más de 6° bajo el horizonte (eso si el horizonte fuera a nivel de mar; aquí tiene que saltar sobre los cerros). El crepúsculo civil empezaba a las 7 con 8 minutos, y el sol por fin aparecía después de las 7 con 41 minutos.

Foto: la vista desde mi ventana. Plantas domésticas adentro, y el cosmos, todavía produciendo flores, afuera. Y en la distancia, la isla Quadra.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
