The white ceiling of houses surrounded by lawns or the white-painted

reflected from the grass on the ground.
All these cases present film colors.

They appear as a thin, transparent, translucent layer between the eye and an object, independent of the object's surface color.”
Josef Albers, Interaction of Color

“The air is so crisp it gives me a brief, delusive sense of health and youth. Those I don’t have, but I have learned not to scorn the substitutes: quiet, plenty of time, and a job to spend it on.”
Wallace Stegner, Angle of Repose
