Shining Sun

The other day I was leaving to run some errands. When I opened the door I thought someone had stuck large Post-It notes on the wall. I looked closer, and realized that the bright squares were a series of sunshine patterns.

Moving towards the stairwell, I figured out that the vertical lines came from the balusters.

The sunlight was coming at just the perfect angle from the window on the landing between the garage and the first floor so it could travel up the stairwell and reflect onto the wall. If it was any other season the tree outside of the window would have blocked the light.

  1. Sunshine's very own post it notes. Very cool looking.

  2. I'm going to need another picture straight down from the side bannister. I can't figure out where the stairs are and where the window is. Unless you're floating in the air taking the picture.

    1. I am at the top of the stairs heading down to the first floor. From there the stairwell switchbacks. However, the set going down to the garage has a landing that faces east, and the window is on the landing.

    1. The kicker is that the day I took the photo it was sunny, but chilly enough to wear my heavy coat. To me, it will be Spring when there's sunshine and milder temperatures

  7. Oh, how I love the sunshine that puts those shadows all over the walls! I've been posting them on a regular basis on my Instagram account. It's been a very dark cold winter here. https://www.instagram.com/dkzody/

    1. Thank you. Other than cell phone photos, no. I just try to be aware of what's going on around me.
