The Mill Stream at Night

Observer: Eloise Bacher
Date: 26 September, 2008
Time: 2132- 2147
Place: Botanical Garden, by the Mill Stream.
Weather: Cold, after dark, damp.

I can't see the water of the Mill Stream it's so dark, but I can hear it, and it sounds about ten times louder than it does when it's light out. Maybe my ears are compensating for the fact that I can't see very well right now. It feels much later than it really is, like it's really the middle of the night, instead of 9:40ish, when the sun would be setting in the summer. That's another odd thing about this weather: the sun is setting at the normal time, but it's still sunny and warm like summer.
