I’d like to take a moment to acknowledge that it’s 5:08 PM and it’s still light out. OK, it’s not summer or anything, but still, there’s something to be said for that. As I have indicated before here on Wall Spin, I’m slightly sunset obsessed – call me cliché. Spring makes me want to expand my aesthetic advocacy to twilight, too.
No, I certainly don’t mean the cult of vampire personality that goes by the same name. (I’m not necessarily a fan, but my teenage nieces have fostered my appreciation for the “finer points” of the books and films.) I’m talking about the gray-blue hours around the sunset – some of nature’s best entertainment.
Sure, it happens every day – but during winter and now spring, we really notice those extra minutes of light. They mean so much: longer days, warmer weather and more time to enjoy the outdoors. I think that’s why I find myself wanting to hold onto twilight each day – to pause time and appreciate the promise of what’s to come.
Fortunately, I can rely on a few great artists (wink, wink) to press pause and make twilight last forever.
Take a moment to drink in the beauty of twilight with me, here on Zatista.
