I grabbed this image while sitting at the traffic light just north of the King Park community center at the corner of Vliet and 17th. I can’t say it’s not beautiful in its own way, especially that sliver of crescent moon rising above tiny stars of light twinkling among the silhouetted trees and houses below.

But it is so disorienting and depressing to leave work and walk straight into night! I’m never ready for this sudden shift into winter darkness.

Although if I’m honest, I did enjoy getting that extra hour of sleep over the weekend😄
