Watching the sunset from this house is always a treat, and much better than television. Today was especially spectacular, because, while it was overcast all day, the sun broke through at the last minute in a most peculiar, other-worldly manner. Here's a view from inside the house.
To give an idea of how the window glass filters out the color when the camera is used, here's a view from outside the window, as the sun got lower.
And speaking of heavenly images, here's something else I found:
Yeah, I know, modern art sucks and all that. But I can't bear to throw it away.
(Hmmm.. Maybe now that it's online, it doesn't matter what happens to the original.)
MORE: By way of comparison, here's Salvador Dalí's "News of the
Lower Depths of Hell" from the Divine Comedy series.
Why the elephant-like figure is eating the woman on the right, I don't know.

Talk about leading answers. Why are you tearing out the ceiling?

A badly water-stained ceiling. I figured it was something like that, it looked natural (I was thinking about satellite images of a desert, or possibly swirling mud when I saw it). Modern "art" is completely unnatural - which is why it's ugly.

Yes, it's badly stained, but now I'm thinking maybe I shouldn't tear it out, but leave it there for the art critics! Or perhaps I could frame it, and donate it to an art museum for a huge tax deduction!
