Day 30 - a Year by the Sea

January 30, 2007 by OrientSee.

I’ve been looking at the sky more lately. It’s been interesting to realize how much the moon is around during the day. I actually look at the moonrise and moonset times in the paper now and on the web weather sites that I visit.  This version of the moon is framed by an I.M. Pei building named William James Hall. It is remarkably bland and totally out of harmony with the other buildings around it. The other part of the frame is a roof ornament on Augustus Busch Hall where I work. Built in 1912 and designed by a German architect, it is out of context as well but it is a charming building with very human proportions. So here is the moon surrounded by bland on one side and charm on the other. I am so glad that the I. M. Pei enthusiasm has gone away.

Ciao!
