I live on Lake Shore.

All morning long, no shadows. Brilliant, blinding, delightful, delicious, intoxicating sunlight.

Once late afternoon comes and the shadows start to move across the grassy lawns of Lincoln Park, I have two options: move a few metres north or south until I am again in the sun or haul myself a bit further east until I am back in the sun.

Is planetary motion no longer taught in this country? Sorry to be a prick, but most days I don’t go sit in the sun. I admire the shifting shadows from above.

Discounting wonderful additions to our dynamic skyscape based on very temporary conditions which change daily and are caused by our planet's rotation is odd to me.
