Where Your White City Shines

Hello all! I'm back in the electronic world again. The weather in Boston has, so lamentably, taken a turn for the  cooler and we've gone straight from t-shirts to warm sweaters and jackets - no long sleeve t's or cardigan weather in between.  But - good news - that does mean , in combination with other factors, that I will have more indoor time for writing posts. :)  Sad news - that also means that the summer sunlight is fading and beautiful outdoor sunlit days are getting shorter (sunrise/sunset are decreasing by a minute each every day - a much to rapid pace if you ask me).

I love natural light.  I just finished my first series of Arabic classes today and one of the many new words I learned - and one of the few I always remember - is noor.  It means 'light'.  (I wish I could figure out how to type it in Arabic calligraphy here for you - it's a beautiful language both vocally and visually.)

Anyway, I'm working on another post right now, but a friend of mine just shared this video (she's in it) and I thought I would share it with all of you.  Unfortunately, she only posted it on facebook instead of YouTube or some other publicly accessible website, so I can only share the link and you'll have to have a FB account and log in in order to view it.  It was made by a friend of hers and is composed entirely of still photographs - roughly 800.  It's beautiful. (listen to the lyrics too...) And it's about light.
