“Under the trees light has dropped from the top of the sky, light like a green latticework of branches, shining on every leaf, drifting down like clean white sand.
“A cicada sends its sawing song high into the empty air.
The world is a glass overflowing with water.”
– Pablo Neruda, “Ode to the Enchanted Light”
Shot an hour before twilight by Myra Lambino: the Ramble and Lake at Central Park Manhattan New York City, with golden sunlight rendering the iconic San Remo twin-tower, of pre-war classical architecture, iridescent.

From WordPress: “In photography, the “golden hour” is the first and last hour of sunlight of the day. Photographers venture out on sunrise hikes or sunset treks to capture a magical shot, due to the quality of the light during that time of day. Last week, I spent several days exploring Quebec City, and the view of the Old Town, from the city’s historic ramparts, is stunning. I took the photo above on our first day of wandering, as the sun began to set.”
Happy virtual trekking to WordPress likers in various hills, plains, cities all over the planet:
“White rocks jutting from Ching stream
The weather’s cold, red leaves few
No rain at all on the paths in the hills
Clothes are wet with the blue air.”
– Wang Wei, “In the Hills”
