Dazzled

Usually when I'm visually dazzled I'm referring to the fractal art of Not Quite Perfect. Her fractals have really increased in their dazzle factor recently. Check out Gallaxia, Electric Octopus and Silk Sea Shell. Marvelous titles too!

But that's not the only blog I follow with a talent for the visual arts. Elder of Ziyon has tiled together a series of photographs taken with his new digital camera to create a breathtaking montage of lower Manhattan. Check it out and if you wish, download it!
EoZ zoomed in on one of the photos. It is of the World Financial Center. (I didn't remember the name; EoZ reminded me in an e-mail.) I guess that what's behind it is why a lot of us blog these days. Before September 11, 2001, there were two very tall building that would have sprouted up behind that location. Now there is an empty space behind them. The picture is affecting not just because of what's there; but also because of what's missing.

Not quite at the same level, I took a photo of sunset tonight.

I just bought a CD of oldies that included "Twilight Time" by the Platters, somehow these lyrics seemed appropriate:

Deepening shadows gather splendor as day is done
Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun
I count the moments, darling, til you're here with me
Together, at last, at Twilight Time.
