Making the most of the Light

On days like yesterday and today, one should get as much time in the sun as possible. Below: straight after breakfast today, I set off for a quick half-hour stroll to commune with the sun. Direct flow of photons into the brain, and my mind is working optimally. In joy.

Below: late this morning, looking at the back of my house. 


The kittens are all outside enjoying the day. Below: Czestuś on a stump of the cherry tree 


Left: the five kittens out and about, on patrol, together, with mum Wenusia and myself watching on, on the lane at the bottom of my drive. In the foreground, Céleste, behind her to the left, sniffing the ground, Arcturus; the black-nosed and black-chinned Scrapper peeking out of the crack in the tree; the ginger Czestuś holding onto the trunk vertically, and at the top, Pacyfik.

Below: Chynów station at around 16:40, yesterday, with the Olsztyn to Kraków Żeromski InterCity express passing through, while a Warsaw-bound Koleje Mazowieckie service has a scheduled wait on the side platform to allow the express through on the 'up' line, overtaking a Radom-bound all-stations service (which was slightly delayed). Today the Radom train was minute ahead of the Żeromski – just as it should be.

Below: electricity poles and mobile telephony relay tower, red, gold and green foliage, blue sky and traffic on the DK50.

Below: ulica Miodowa, Chynów, the rays of the sun as it approaches the horizon glance over the top of the rip corn and light up the trees 

Below: today's sunset, an advancing bank of wispy clouds catching the colours. On the horizon, between the trees, the water toward in Drwalew.

The afterglow the followed yesterday's sunset. Below: crushed velvet dusk at the end of my lane, where Jakubowizna meets Chynów before the railway line. The Sublime Aesthetic in one photo.
