My natural circadian rhytm would have me sleeping in late but I also love morning light and getting stuff done early so I try not to sleep in too late. This time of the year I would not get up with the sun because that is before 4am, but the pretty morning light is still fairly good around 8am. If I want to see the sunrise, I’m just gonna stay up late.

I only just discovered that the sun shines perfectly to the porch in the morning this time of the year and it’s real warm for a bit. At lunch time the big ass trees shade the entryway and you gotta wait a bit if you want to sit on the terrace in the sun. I really just live by the suns moves, usually chasing it, sometimes avoiding.

It’s sort of an obsession of mine to find, take note of and document where the sun hits at a certain time of the day and througout the changing seasons. My phones cameraroll is absolutely filled with images of light, so basically just pictures of walls and floors with beams of light, how exciting!? I’m a student of light now and forever.

😂, I am always amazed by how sleeping in late sometimes feels, but you make a great argument of the morning light, and just getting things done✅ early. I live close to the Equator and I get a chance to observe the sun at different positions at different times of the year. Reading your piece made me realize how for granted I take such an opportunity.

Keep up the good work. In the future I will work on sharing photos I take as the position of the star🌞 changes up and down the Equator.

Where you live the sun shines high every day right? Here it changes very drastically, dead of winter it hardly rises and in the summer the opposite.

Yea, it does😊. The thing to note is that most of the folks around me take that for granted. Personally though I think there is so much beauty surrounding me. I live in the highlands, near the great Mt Kenya. We are hours away from the equator, and so we experience the equatorial climate in the highlands.

I am working on a project to showcase this beauty. Been away from blogging on HIVE for a while, I had to prioritize finishing up my first Bachelor's.

The room with the best light in my place is the toilet. It's the only place that gets direct sunlight

I’m so sorry to hear that! Like I would loove to have natural light in the bathroom too but I would not choose that over any other room 😂😂
