it was a grey day, so we couldn't really see the sun at noon to observe it's position. we'll take note of the sunrise and sunset over the next few days, as it rises and sets more due east and west. the sun is lower now, in the sky. even with the days growing shorter, however, the air is still quite humid. we had a few crisp autumn like days at the beginning of the month, but summer is still hanging on during these later days.by day the blue will pale down into white where it touches the white of the land, after sunset it has a new circumference-orange, melting upwards into tenderest purple. but the core of blue persists, and so it is by night. then the stars hang like lamps from the immense vault. the distance between the vault and them is as nothing to the distance behind them, and that farther distance, though beyond colour, last freed itself from blue. -e.m. forster (a passage to india)

equinox
