dailybell 2020 + + +

was the 13th year in an ongoing project, dedicated to the observation of the sun at every crossing of the horizon and to sharing the awareness of that moment with others (i.e. ring a bell). This year's invitation was for others to witness and share a sunrise or sunset each month. With the onset of covid19, came the mandate to shelter in place. Knowing that we would be at home each evening, we decided to ring a LOUD bell every sunset, marking the day's end to anyone within earshot.

9 words for February 9

Feb 9, 2020. Sunrise 7:05 AM.
Berkeley, CA.

About three minutes before sunrise, I walked out on the second-floor balcony, and the first thing I saw was the full moon in the west. Irresistible to photograph! The wind was very strong, so I decided to use slo-mo video as the sun rose. I forgot that the audio would be slowed down, too, so the ceramic bell I was ringing sounds like a drum!
