Last night, there was almost total darkness, not even the moon gave its light, only the artificial lights of man were present to light our way.
Today, the sky is blue and the brilliant sun is shining to give us both light and warmth. This is not uncommon, for we have known days and nights all our lives and assume it will always be the same.
