LOOK UP.


And I tear my eyes away from my telephone screen.
I have to close them immediately for the light here is blinding.
I have to put my hands on my ears for the sounds are deafening.
After a minute or so I slowly open my eyes again.
And I look up.
I see a blue sky and a white yellowish sun.

Wow. No pixels.
