As I arrived at the Viewpoint, I suddenly wondered whether it was dusk yet and what the official definition of dusk is. I asked a couple who where just leaving the park. They said they thought dusk is when it's still light, after the sun has gone down. They said it was still late afternoon, not dusk, but they agreed that it looked quite a lot like dusk. The sky was overcast, and the light was quite blue. It was cold, although not freezing or windy. I was surprised how many people came by jogging, or walking their dogs, and how many sat and read or looked at the view.

A large flock of crows came flying overhead. There were hundreds of them, or at least that was my impression. I didn't actually try to count them. They were moving too fast. The headed out toward the lake.

The moon rises at 20:39 and sets at 09:37. It will be eighteen days into the current cycle. It will be 361506 kilometers from earth and in the waning gibbous phase.

Like the Rainbow
Lake Washington and the Cascade Mountains from the Viewpoint,

As I was leaving the Viewpoint this afternoon, the thought occurred to me that when you go somewhere that you see in a "view," you find a place, not a view. A view is sort of like the rainbow: you can observe it, but you can never reach it.

The Crane
When I stopped by the Viewpoint just now, there was nobody there--until an acquaintance of mine came along on a bicycle, stopping for a second, and then going on. There was a vaguely blue cast to the light, with a certain amount of haze in the distance. More leaves have come down from the Sentinel and the other trees, and it's even clearer that fall is past its prime. In just a few days, it will be Halloween, and then the typically rainy month of November will be upon us.
The one thing out of the ordinary that I noticed today was a crane jutting up into the sky around Hunter's Point, but on the other side of Union Bay, south of the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge. It's funny how from one place only yards long, you can see so much territory and observe the effects of so many human actions.
