i realize that a lot of people don't like how early it gets dark this time of year. i've been lucky in that my mood isn't noticeably affected by the amount of sunlight i'm exposed to each day, and i like the less harsh light we get during the winter in this part of the world.
but on top of that, i really love getting to see the sunset from my office window this time of year. my window faces east, not west, so i don't see the real sunset unless i walk over to the conference room. but even from my eastern view, the colors and shadows over philadelphia from 51 floors above can still be pretty dazzling.
