light

One of the nice things about living in Kijabe is the breathtaking view of the Great Rift Valley, and watching the way the light bounces off of it.   Here are some photos, from different times of the day, to show you what I mean.

Early morning light:

This photo was actually taken by Dexter, who has the unfortunate habit of waking up at 5 every day.  This was taken back in May, when we were living in different temporary housing, and had a great view of Mt. Longonot. There was a lot of rain then, so the mornings were often cool and grey.  I was snuggled warmly in bed, of course.

And then, a sunset.  There are some pretty great sunsets here.  Here's just one example:
