Twenty-seven minutes squeezed into two minutes.


This morning, about 7 am


Six years ago:
My front door faces east.
A few days each year, the peephole serves as a
sundial.
You can see the globular rainbow travel across my annotated wall.
Yes, that is me in the reflection on the clock that starts at 7:00.

@7:10 branches between the sun and the peephole make a shadow.

@7:15 the shadow fades

7:21 the glob fades again

I worked at a printing company in a large warehouse structure. my office was walled off with no windows, just a door that opened into the main warehouse. There was one small window on the opposite wall and hence the Indiana jones style sun beam. I would go around to all my coworkers all excited and they would look at me like I was crazy! I like your post! We're not crazy!
