Description
Another autumn storm was on the way. The weather had been wet but we needed the rain to bring the lake levels up and to get the trees ready for freeze-up and winter. Singelton was to the southeast of the approaching col in the deformation zone. This means that the heaviest rain would pass well to the northwest. The convective showers and thunderstorms would likely pass well to the south. Those dark lines were contrails of jet on their way to Europe arriving with the sun the next morning. It was still too wet to paint en plein air though. I picked a small panel and had some fun with lots of paint.
Daylight Saving Time (DST) was designed to save energy and make better use of daylight. It was first used in 1908 in Thunder Bay, Ontario. About 40% of countries worldwide use daylight savings to make better use of daylight and to conserve energy. Although modern DST has only been used for about 100 years, ancient civilizations are known to have engaged in comparable practices thousands of years ago. For example, the Roman water clocks used different scales for different months of the year to adjust the daily schedules to the solar time. For me as a believer in solar energy, the principle is really simple. I get up with the sun and go to bed when it sets. Simple.
