Sometime, long after the conversation with our friends,
I’ll have to go back and get this shot framed properly:
But there’s something to be said for how life just happens.
And something to be said for leaving the corner chopped off.
So Here’s the Thing

Sometimes–with the internal links, e.g.–time lapses are mine, sayeth the blogger.
Other times–with photos on a given day–cloud changes are mine, sayeth the Lord.

- 12:24, a glimpse of sun
-
- 12:56, a chill sets in
-
- 1:23, rain on the way

- 4:15, facing south
-
- 4:15, coming west
-
- 4:15, short of the sun

But I was going to say, before truth broke in about the clock

So it turns out, the clock tells time just fine

U just have to stand close enough and see well enough
To tell the hands that stand from the ones that move.

- Sit in the same spot, often enough
-
- Looking up, in the same direction
-
- U begin to wonder, where exactly
-
- & what, exactly, the old place used to be
Why we never asked before is a whole other question, of course.
Minimal Progress

Research on fresco (up to the point of practical implementation),
Non c’e problema. (In other words, not a problem.)
But the work on via Vaita De Domo has been going less well.
First, the sun and the wall. See for yourself how they helped:
At least there was a sign further along, with a legend (in inglese)
But the research on the noble Spoletan family proceeds no further apace.
With more remaining to be said about what set us out on this journey.

Quite a delightful way to spend a day
(Or an afternoon, really) typing away:
Hereby submitted in partial fulfillment
Of the assignment: to capture the light
In our exchange with the Czech teacher,
Off on her own this bright fall morning
To browse the art exhibits of Spoleto,
Unfettered by the disinterest of youth.
