Wayfarers In The Night

If your day is on the verge of being hectic we suggest that you take a moment, get something warm to drink ( we’re suggesting Twinning’s English Breakfast Tea but the choice is yours ) find a soft chair and gaze upon this image for a while.

Our Intergalactic cameras caught this image of Journeyers as they flew by our stationary trail cam on an exploration through the cosmos in search of the perfect color blue. These Wayfarers or Journeyers have been searching for millennia for this color and as their travel speed is approximately 1.4 mph and their destination is approximately 7210 light years away they are having tough sledding trying to reach their goal.

They cannot reproduce unless the exact Chroma of deep Indigo blue exists, so they travel throughout space searching for this color and their home. The Institute maintains a database of known and some unknown colors that exist in the Universe, and their coordinates for just such a purpose as this. We have located the coordinates of this color which we are beaming to the Wayfarers to aid them in their search. For those interested the group is located just out of our universe on a heading towards true Galactic North. The coordinates which also represent the location for the particular shade they need are Hex triplet #4B0082; sRGB 75,0,130; cmyk 42, 100, 0, 49; by HSV 42, 100, 0, 49.

This has been an ongoing project titled Deep Color and we have been collecting the appropriate data since the inception of The Institute. These coordinates represent a shortcut that will save the travelers hours and hours off their travel time.  As it will take about 8000 years using our CenturyLink Wireless Modem to reach them we will be standing by to make sure they receive the information before we re-transmit.

Meanwhile relax and enjoy the image, which by the way is actually a slightly darker shade of Blue, almost into the violet range. If the Journeyers could make just a slight change in their DNA they could be partying right this moment, with the resulting little Journeyers soon zipping around being kids, but alas they haven’t evolved to that stage yet. They are bound by their stunted growth and lack of a true brain to finish their search no matter how long it takes, so we say Bon Voyage, wayfarers. Be sure to let us know how this all turns out. If we’re still here that is.

Sing A Song Of Morning

We’re not the only ones that find joy in the first light of morning. Our companions on this big blue ball hurtling through space find as much pleasure in the beginning of the day as we do. For some it means that they’ve made it through another night and celebrate the gift of another day. For others it may just be the colors and freshness of the light that gives them reason to address the morning.

This plover seems to be one of those that is finding the colors of the morning require some comment. Perhaps a word of thanks, or a call to the universe to say it is here and alive and glad of it. I belong to that camp. Just take it in. Be immersed in the moment. Be glad you’re alive. Sing a song of the morning just because you can.

Racing Into The Darkness

Every day, from time immemorial, the earth has slowly turned on its axis as it hurtles around the sun in its quest to use up its allotted time in this universe. As it completes its rotation, the terminator, that line that divides light from dark, moves across the face of our planet bringing day for some and night for others. This celestial clock can not be adjusted or reset and there is no force that we know of that can halt this race to darkness or stop the illumination of the first light of dawn.

Here at Monument Valley we see the last of this day’s battle as the earth continues its steady rotation into that good night. The colors of the buttes and the surrounding earth they rest on change from the deep dark red of bright sunlight into the muted colors of night. Soon they will appear to be black, just a silhouette seen under the light of the stars. But as it does every single day the night passes and the bright light of day will arrive restoring the colors to the land.

Every second of this unending process is precious and holds its own special magic. You may be partial to mid-day or early morning but this moment, the moment of change, as the colors intensifies then slowly fade to black, is one of the most special times to witness.
