Experienced an ughten recently?
Ughten, an obscure word, means morning twilight, according to The Phrontistery.
The last time (and first time in 19 years) I was awake in an ughten I was observing photographers mounting their high tech, high-powered cameras in front of Cambodia's Angkor Wat. They were waiting to capture sunrise there. Here's wondering if I could stand the cold in a Stonehenge ughten.

I just learned a new word! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteNever knew that word before and frankly, I'd be rather upset at having to be up at that time! lol

ReplyDeleteDear friend,
ReplyDeleteI have never used that word before. Thank you. Great pictures also.
came via Roger's blog re Unions. I am rejoicing. I was at a teachers' workshop when a teacher came in to tell the good news.
ReplyDeleteToday, in New Zealand the union won, govt zero, they were going to cut teachers, cut technical classes, up class sizes, Union got all the teachers, and parents to protest. The minister withdrew. Ya!!!!
Power to the people. Sometimes we need Unions.
Have to wake up early to watch it?
