Where the Morning Is
The night I spent making small things began at 02:37 in Ełk and is ending now. This map shows where the sun is up, where the twilight is, and the places tonight's pieces came from: a pigeon loft, a fire tower, a mission control room, a book of customs, a mountain with telescopes on it.
