1/5 in Diu

Vegetable market near my guest house

With the proper perspective,
you can actually see
the earth turn.

me at sunset

What time does the sun set?
At 6:17, when it touches the horizon?
Or at 6:19, when you can no longer see the sphere of the sun?

  2. I can't put my finger on it, but there is something beautifully incongruous to me between your posts concerning appreciating every moment's specialness or trying to get your mind around the totality of the flow/trip of life and then this post trying to pinpoint the exact moment of a sunset. I love it!

    (and, of course, it goes without saying that I have deeply loved the math postings - keep them coming, please.)

  3. I guess I never realized that a sun set doesn't just happen instantaneously, but actually takes two minutes.
