A certain slant of light

October 4, 2013

I’m cherishing every drop of sun now as the days shorten faster and faster. (Three photo blogs to recommend: Vassilis‘ breathtaking portraits from Athens and beyond; Joanna‘s Visual Diary of everyday life in Berlin and elsewhere; Bridget’s Deer Circus of home-y, lovely vintage-vibe snapshots.)

There’s a certain slant of light
“When it comes, the landscape listens,
Shadows hold their breath;
When it goes, ’tis like the distance
On the look of death.” (Emily Dickinson)

      oh me too! technically it’s “a certain slant of light / on winter afternoons”– but I thought it was great for fall afternoons as well 😀
