The Machinery of Night

Foto Friday: More View for You

What's that I hear you say? "Let's see more of that great view, Angie!" Why, glad to oblige!

Sunset over Maalaea Bay, July, 2009

The island of Lanai is in the background. I had to go out into the road to get that one. I have a more spectacular sunset that I didn't have to get out of the chair to capture. I'll post that in a week or two.

When I was looking for a place to live I'd see places advertised as having a view, and thought, "View, Schmiew. I don't need no stinking view. I do want walls of my own: no sharing." But it's nice to have a view.

I had forgotten how very very much I missed living in the country. It's so quiet and peaceful. It reminds me of my grandmother's house. You could bathe in the silence in that place. (Grandma had a sweeping view of majestic...cornfields.)

The other night I was lying in bed and heard...footsteps. Very slow footsteps in the grass outside. Oh, no! Someone's prowling around! I waited for a moment, and then I heard, Phlphlphlphlp! It was the landlady's horse.
