the waning light

According to a BBC news article online, someone stole one of the Edvard Munch paintings of The Scream from an art museum in Norway and I have to wonder why the thieves chose that piece. Yes, there is the money factor, but I suspect that it had more to do with the lax security then anything else. Now I have nothing against Munch and almost like some of his stuff, but that painting never did much for me. Then for a time all that I saw was comparisons between it and the scene from the first Home Alone movie. That linking did not sway me to his side.

Lately I've become more and more aware of the shortening days. I know that the summer solstice was two months ago, but I'm not sure if I am ready for a sunset at four thirty in the afternoon. Thankfully I have two months to prepare myself.
