Which way is infinity?

So, I have been here for a couple of weeks now and I have so much to say!

But I'll start with one of my favorite things about this place:  sunsets

I moved into an apartment where a fellow ex-pat was renting out a room.  An English chap, very nice.  The apartment complex is on the water, and from the back patio, I can watch the sun set over the water.  It's without words.  It's been a while since I have seen the sun set over water.  And since I lived in Virginia Beach for 99% of my life, only sunrises happen over the water and if you know me, you know I didn't catch many of those.

So, there was a storm brewing somewhere in the ocean and it made the water very choppy here, which is not normal.  And this complex is on the water, but the water meets a rocky shore, not a sandy one.  There is a 2 foot tall cement wall that runs along the shoreline of the property, separating the grounds of the complex from the "beach."  So last night I decided to go out and lay on the cement wall and watch the sunset upside down.  It wasn't so much the sunset that was freaky, but watching the water crashing into the rocks and splashing down??  It was pretty freaky cool. It actually kind of reminded me of a salamander (this cool thing in a kitchen that burns above the food).   I highly recommend watching any horizon at any time of day from a different perspective.  Even laying on your side is pretty freaking cool.  It actually inspired some plating designs in my head.  When I actually do them, I'll take a photo.

But imagining infinity in a different direction is cool.  Normally, up is infinity, leading away from you toward the heavens, the stars and "higher" powers, etc.  But when you turn upside down, infinity goes down and somehow leads to you.  Or you lay on your side and infinity goes to the right.  It's weird.  Try it.  Just lay some other way and take in the direction of birds and trees rustling and cars driving and kids going down a slide.  It's pretty neat.
