And it's so dark at night; I'd forgotten what near pitch-black is like. The cats have decided to sleep elsewhere. I do get to see a bit at night, though: due to the extreme angle, the alley below is projected onto the ceiling, 3 white dots representing the streetlights. Occasionally a car will drive by, two pin-prick headlights following one another like parallel fireflies, before turning suddenly to the left and disappearing into the wall.

Years ago, when I lived in Chicago's South Loop, a convergence of elements in my bedroom produced a <em>camera oscura</em> image that I enjoyed for about six weeks (but did not photograph): the very red CMA Building upended on a blue summer sky.
