#0714 "Crepuscular Rays"

It was about an hour after a November sunrise and the non-parallel appearance of the parallel crepuscular rays from the sun were very striking from the Brockville waterfront. It is the same phenomena of steel rails that appear to converge as you look away along a train track. The steel rails are certainly the same distance apart but they don't seem that way when you are standing along the tracks and look along them. The Morrisburg water tower was evident on the American shore.

November is one of those months when people with Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) begin to feel depressed. SAD begins and ends at about the same time every year for people who are affected. If you're like most people with SAD, your symptoms start in the fall and continue into the winter months. SAD people have their energy sapped and they tend to be very moody. SAD that causes depression in the spring or early summer are less common. Treatment for SAD may include light therapy (phototherapy), medications and psychotherapy.Don't brush off that yearly feeling as simply a case of the "winter blues" or a seasonal funk that you have to tough out on your own. Take steps to keep your mood and motivation steady throughout the year.

I love the weather. It not only pays the bills but it makes me happy. It is all how you look at things. The weather is always there for me when I am looking for a challenge to observe, to understand, to paint and to predict.
