293 - Apocalypse Now (Apocalipsis)

This morning was still smokey from the wild fires. The day had an eerie feeling about it. Here's the sun, hours after Sunrise, as seen from my front lawn just before 8 this morning. The sun almost looks like a meteor coming towards earth. I think like that before my first cup of coffee.

California sigue quemando. Aquí unas fotos del sol, a mi me parece ser un meteoro que viene hacia la tierra. A veces pienso así si no tomo mi cafesito al amanecer.



This is a closeup without adjusting the camera taken less than a minute after the picture above.

Tome ésta un minuto después de la foto anterior. Esta vez más cerca.



This is an altered photo from a picture taken at about the same time as the ones above. I've had a recurring dream that's my version of apocalypse. I dream that I go home to my mom's old house and after finding that my family does not live there anymore I go out the back door and as I look up I see the sun, the moon, and several other planets (in particular Saturn), and the sunlight is like it was today; the sky looks mostly red.

During an afternoon walk with my fellow employees we made comments about the sun. Someone said that the day had an apocalyptic view and feel to it. My mind right away flashed through scenes of the movie Apocalypse Now. I thought over and over about the line uttered by Marlon Brando towards the end of the movie... "the horror, the horror". Below is the youtube version of the horror.

Tomé un camino con mis compañeros de trabajo y alguién dijo que el día tenía un sentido apocalipto. Rápidamente mi mente pensó en la película Apocalypse Now. Abajo la parte a cuál pense dónde Marlon Brando dice "el horror, el horror".
