![[_DSF2799-Pano-web.jpg]] Yi Fu-Tuan taught me how horizons are temporal as well as spatial, signalling to us the future to come, the open possibilities. Space as co-maker of futures. Close to my current home in Oxfordshire, I walk in the evenings around the top of a hill from which I can see the lights of the villages around starting to overpower the after-sunset blue light. At the limit of my vision, the lights of a military airbase mark that horizon with an almost perfect straight line of yellow spots. ![[_DSF2776-Pano-web.jpg]] I once visited the top of the hill at dawn. I observed the lights slowly blending with the sunlight, it feels like walking backwards without moving, towards the centre of my known world. At sunset, as darkness makes my place on the hill less fixed, freedom grows with the space. At dawn the feeling is reversed, it is a homecoming, a realisation of limits and the imposition of the routine. A not always unwelcome routine. ![[_DSF2736-41-Pano-web.jpg]]
