as day turns to dusk on the detroit river.

Standard

so sinks the day-star in the ocean bed, 

and yet anon repairs his drooping head, 

and tricks his beams,

and with new-spangled ore, 

flames in the forehead of the morning sky.

I think the universe makes dusk so beautiful so we’ll have it to go by through the night.

    I saw a great commercial from Citi during the Mets game last night about how they stepped in an financed Detroit’s project to fix the 40 percent of their downtown lighting that was broken. It made my like Citi Bank a little more, and also more hopeful Detroit, after the clincher how the improved lighting has helped drive a rebirth. I hope it’s true, Beth!

The soft glow of the evening as the light reluctantly leaves us until morning – a beautiful time of day. How wonderful to be able to enjoy that view. 😉
