Just saw the shadow of the sun setting up the wall of ceiling. The angle of the sun through a window on the opposite side, cast a setting shadow up five feet of ceiling we literally saw the shadow move those get in about 30 seconds. The coolest and wildest thing I've seen in this house (I've been here nearly 20 years) and can't say I'd ever thought to look for it. Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Happened too fast. Was in awe of what we were seeing (wife saw it and said "yup," before turning back around) . Could see heat waves which I suspect was the Earth's atmosphere.

I'm trying to understand, but I do not. Can you get a pic on another day perhaps? I'm interested.  | |||

I didn't understand what the OP was trying to describe at all. Integrity is doing the right thing, even when nobody is looking. | |||

Only 364 days until you can see it again. All that time to ponder what significance your Mayan architect had in including that feature. _________________________ NRA Endowment Member _________________________ "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive.

Is the OP writing in English? Or have I just now realized I've been ignorant all my life??  p.s. glad I'm not the only one... "If you’re a leader, you lead the way. Not just on the easy ones; you take the tough ones too…” – MAJ Richard D. Winters (1918-2011), E Company, 2nd Battalion, 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 101st Airborne "Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24 | |||

Was posting in awe, so to speak. Imagine if you will, , an 18-inch by 5 foot shaft of sunlight from (being cast through) a widow in the western wall being displayed on the inside of the house's eastern wall and vaulted ceiling.The shaft of light was about a foot of it was on the wall and the remainder on the ceiling (an "extended" beam of light as the ceiling is not perpendicular to the setting sun). Of the sunlight passing through the window, we saw the shadow cast by the sun (think; the shadow cast by the bottom edge of the window) move that distance (of five feet) in less than 30 seconds. The sunlight didn't just "fade" away. We saw the shadow cast by the setting sun move up the ceiling (vaulted ceiling). Short of drawing a rectangle and shading in half of it to depict the shadow moving, not sure how else to describe it. Maybe the conditions will be close enough this evening to capture something close? (Or I have to wait 72 years...) Life moves pretty fast.

Allow me to interpret: the new bourbon is excellent, though OP has a predilection toward consuming more than prudent around sunset. ________________________________________________ "You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.

My master bath has a huge window, 6 feet by 6 feet of a solid glass (not broken up into smaller panes) that faces the East. The other wall has a huge mirror, it's 6 feet tall and 8 feet wide from the counter top. Once a year, over a couple of days only, when the sun is rising in just the right position, the sunlight enters through the big widow and the mirror reflects the sun back out where it illuminates a rosebush along my back fence. The sun illumination is a very bright orb maybe 12 inches around, something like that, and last year it landed on a beautiful red rose bloom. It was just totally awesome to see that. Sorry, I never thought to get a pic. I was awestruck. | |||
