End of night #2 (2008/12/16)


Out the dome
Originally uploaded by Filipe Dias
Ah!.. The day rises on the other side of the magical dome window..
A thundery acoustic echoes inside the hemispherical dome, coming from the ceiling motor closing the slit from above.. This scary sound, pumps caffeine through our ears, and unexpectedly contributes to the magic of the birth of a new day.. One which feels strange for those who did not slept its preceding night period. The slowness of the day's birth, the laziness of the slit closing, and the lethargic dimming of the light inside the dome, form the most complex sensation one can have in thw presence of such strange melody..

A very good description of the feelings on the dome closing in the morning. I should add the freezing sensation!!
