[URBAN NOTE] That evening light

[rfmcdonald]

I don't know what it is about the quality of the light these past two days, but the light is such as to bring my eyes' rods and cones up to full strength. Everything was visible, delicate twigs of winter-nude hedges and the patterns of dampness on the sidewalk as I trod. Even the mud of Dufferin Grove Park seemed more vivid, the unnatural kaolin-grey of Upper Canadian clay on the walking paths and the more natural-looking organic mulch under the trees both.
