unusual sky

Maybe because I've been in hiding I haven't noticed. But June 21 was the summer solstice, making it the longest day of the year in terms of daylight.

I meet Shari for a screening of The Beguiled. I want to love it. The film is beautifully shot, acted, and directed. But to me, it 's too high on atmosphere and too short on plot (the first half, anyway).

After the film we walk through the city, under a blue-lit sky. It's 9:08 p.m.
