L is for Light

This was supposed to be my Blogging for Fun Friday post, however, I am late again, but then, better late than never. We are doing letter L this week, I thought at first of Las Vegas for a change from my nature pursuits, however, my friend Tes also featured Las Vegas. Having done Los Angeles already before, I was at lost then of what to do for letter L. While I was browsing my pictures, I saw this picture below,

Colors of Dispersed Sun Light

and this is what inspired me to join this Friday's letter L Blogging for Fun, and my entry is Light for L.

The above picture is our ceiling. :) Have you tried looking up at your ceiling or walls when the sun light passes through your glass windows? You will see what made Newton conclude before that white light is produced from many colors. The glass prism disperses white light by refracting each color at different angle, and the separation of colors is seen. Just like with rainbows, sunlight is refracted by raindrops falling through the atmosphere, producing a display of rainbow colors.  But then, we do not always have to be outside and have both rain and sun to see this dispersion of light, we can just be inside our home too. During the morning, when the sun rises from the East, the light enters our glass window, and I would look up at our ceiling, and I would also see what Newton saw in his experiment of glass prism before explaining why white light is made up of different colors.

Colors of Dispersed White Light on Our Ceiling

Right now, as I am typing this entry, I see the same rainbow of colors above my head. I find it cool, to be waking up with the sunrise, and then, see the colors of light hitting the house after.

Anyway, here are some more light pictures:

Colors of Sky when the Sun Light Bids Goodbye, Sunset @ Old Town San Diego

Have a good weekend, everyone. The sun light is shining bright here in sunny San Diego, and as I end this post, the rainbow of colors on our ceiling now has disappeared, meaning the sun is already high enough :) and time to enjoy the beautiful world outside.
