The Southward Sunrises and Sunsets

to the Winter SolsticeEdward Quinto

After all the hardships of moving out of my rented unit in the Tower 1 Sun

Residences Condo in May 2015, I was finally able to move into my very own

condo unit only in the month of July 2015. My purchased unit is located in the

higher floors of Tower 2 with two windows: one opens up to a vast and

breathtaking view of the East, facing the majestic sunrise extending all the way

to Quezon City and the bluish mountain ranges afar. The other window faces the

North showing a view of Manila Bay and the environs of Caloocan, Malabon andNavotas. These windows are directly opposite to what I had before in my rented

unit in the Tower 1 condo which face the South and the West.

The Grand View of the East

The setting sun over Northwestern Manila Bay moving to the south (my left). It will

disappear from my view as it hides behind Tower 1. The setting sun will move out of Tower 1

as it moves northwards (my right) in the months of June or July 2016 and reaches its most

northerly point of migration on 22 June known as the Summer Solstice.

My 24 Gal Infinity Aquarium facing the East, I call it Infinity because you can see very far

through it. The oblique rays of the rising sun at 150o

North or 50o

East hit the left edge of

my 24 Gal aquarium and generated a large spectrum/rainbow projected on my western wall

My 30” x 12” x 15” aquarium located almost along the east directly fronting my eastern

window at 30o

North inclination acted like a giant prism creating the rainbow on my

western wall.

Last November 10 or 11, my Infinity aquarium acted like a giant prism, broke the incoming

oblique light rays of sunrise from my East Window and broke it on my Western Wall into the

colors of the rainbow. It was a long and bright spectrum

The rainbow bigger than my throw pillow and at times shimmering due to the shadows of

my goldfishes swimming inside the triangular edge of my aquarium that acted as a prism

The spectrum of brush, inverted photo of a long yellow band of sunlight on my western

wall is the part of the early morning sunlight that went through the partially open slit of my

window. One can even see the opening handle/knob of my East Window. The spectrum was

generated by the edge of my Infinity Aquarium .
