from robert's balcony, the morning sun creates a comet's tail off one of the new buildings in buckhead---he took this this morning---

Each of us is all the sums he has not counted: subtract us into nakedness and night again, and you shall see begin in Crete four thousand years ago the love that ended yesterday in Texas.
The seed of our destruction will blossom in the desert, the alexin of our cure grows by a mountain rock, and our lives are haunted by a Georgia slattern, because a London cutpurse went unhung. Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.

Last week, around 12:00 noon, I was driving west on North Druid Hills. As I got past the Target, I was oriented directly to that chisel building and was practically blinded; for a good quarter mile that buildiing reflected (and even seemed to magnify) the sun so much that it was hard to drive. It's as if they built it for that purpose...It's a real problem. The experience was actually surreal, as daylight in the affected area was increased by a good 50%. I'm sure they'll retrofit some shades after a few accidents or blindings.
Good pic nonetheless.
