Ray of Light

Over the course of the year, a rather tall apartment building has been under construction about a kilometer south of the Langdon. It's taller than any building between here and there, so I've had a good view of the process. About two weeks ago, they began adding a gorgeous copper roof, complete with arched dormers on all sides. It's very attractive, and will be fantastic once it oxidizes to that classy green. The only problem is that until that happens, my room gets bombarded with the intense amber light that reflects off of it for about fifteen minutes each morning. It's bright enough to hurt my eyes if I look directly at it. Oh, well. It's a small price to pay for such a spectacular view the other 23 hours and 45 minutes a day.
