you know,if you ever want to feel how fast the world is turning
watch a planet rise
preferably venus when it is close to us and the sun
because the visual brain measures distance compared to the size of the objects, and the moon is so huge that it seems to rise slowly
but if you have a pure point of light and a horizon for reference, you can see the actual speed
i can tell you, it skeered me how fast the world is terning .....
the above picture is venus rising in the east. i had the full moon setting behind me in the west to light up the boats for me. it is the seaside town i am staying in for the summer, and this is pretty much just outside our door.
it is bliss here. we have a house painted with rainbows, which is a good environment for my own painting.
the last one i did was of the god Jupiter and his friends. it's from my collection Translocations Of The Red Child.
ps: yes the promise of venus got me out of bed, but alas; it is the rainy season here. though we live in the temperate zone, it is an El Nino summer.
