The Sun & Astronomy


I have this old astronomy book sitting on the end table in the living room. At this time of the year the sun sets far enough in the north that the sun shines in the window and illuminates this old book. I love the texture of the book cover, and the old paper it is printed on, and particularly the wonderful illustrations. Add to this, the late afternoon light, and I think I have a picture worth taking.

  1. Very interesting. With the round table & shadows it made me think of a sun dial.

  2. That's so cool. The sun on what looks like an illustration of the night sky (I think it may be the planets, though, but still...). Cool!
