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)

snowy morning . . .
last night, before going to sleep, we looked out at the long night moon. it was very high in the sky.
it was nice that it was so clear last night. this morning it's grey and beautifully snowy.
We saw the full moon tonight. First it was very hazy, but then we got a good view.
