sunrise, sunset


i've waited 9 months, marked the equinoxes and solstices, found time and luck to get the sunrises and sunset. (except during september, when the indonesian haze was at a peak, it was hard to get the sun while low in the sky.)

it should be so amazing that such massive changes happen over a year, but are imperceptible at the daily granular level. (the sweep is even larger at higher latitudes, until the arctic and antarctic circle, where you get the midnight sun / total nights.)

but there is so little that i know. i only know that the earth will continue to spin; the sun will continue to rise in the east and set in the west. i only know that the earth will continue to revolve around the sun; the earth will continue to tilt at 23.5 degrees (at least within my lifetime), and the sunrises and sunsets will continue to sweep across the sky.

but there is so much more to know.
