Morning light
Ah, the switch off of Daylight Saving Time. Suddenly it is getting seriously dark by 6 pm, which will soon be 5:30 pm, and then 5 pm by the time of the winter solstice. Some people take this opportunity to bemoan the encroaching darkness.
But I find a brief period of joy and amusement for about 2 weeks at this time of year. Due to this artificial time shift, there is a brief period when the morning is lighter than it was before! When I get up tomorrow at 5 am, it will be as bright as it was at 6 am a few days ago. In other words, it won't be pitch black at 5 am, as it had been for about 2 weeks in mid-October.
So I am enjoying this short time of lighter mornings!
