Pic of the day: 4 years ago

Images, India, tea — Stephen on February 25, 2011 @ 8:39 pm — 0 comments

Was looking through some old photos and came across this spectacular one from the tea plantations of south India, where I was 4 years ago…

I was cleaning out a few things today, and came across the always delightful “The Gashlycrumb Tinies” by Edward Gorey. It is a little book of line drawings with the names of children, one for each letter of the alphabet, and a description of how they perished. My favorite was (and always will be) Neville:

Pic of the day: Eclipse

Last night was a lunar eclipse, one that happened to fall on the solstice. The last time such an event occurred was 1638 and the next time will be 2094. That pretty much put it into the once in a lifetime category. And never having seen a lunar eclipse, I decided to stay up late to watch it. Although several friends expressed interest during the day in watching it with me, as the hour became late, they began dropping like flies. Only one of my friends was geeky and sweet enough to join me in this endeavor, my friend Ric. He came over at about 2am, and we watched and took photos through the deepest part and out to a sliver as the eclipse was ending near 4am. I am kinda beat today but it was definitely worth it. And though our pictures are no great shakes, such an event really does make you marvel a bit about the physics of our universe.

Cool and Spooky

On my way down to meet someone for dinner last night, I decided to take The Highline since it was the shortest distance between two points, and because I never really need an excuse to walk on it. It was about 6:45 pm, and the park is open until 8. It wasn’t particularly cold out, but there was an eerie silence through most of the park, with almost no one around. It was cool and spooky.
