Below, testing this premise of diffused light, we travel to a nearby coastal ridge in western Sonoma, facing the setting sun.
As we sit, reading our books and sipping ice tea, waiting . . . and suddenly the rods on left side of the gate explode as the sun arrives at it's prescribed angle.  Prowell jumps up and down, singing and dancing like an idiot.
  
Ten minutes later and the second sequence of rods react,  which in turn ignites further dancing and perhaps a handstand.

And then the third.
  
And finally the last and with this, the smuggness that arrives with any design born from the intuitive guess-work of  a conceptual idea existing only within the head of a man with far too much time on his hands.

The small translucent acrylid squares mortised into the teak gridwork.  All but invisible until back-lit by the sunlight.
We also get a closer look at a technique developed for this gate that illustrates a series of inlays filled with a tinted epoxy.


People love to ask, Gawd, how long did it take?
But what they don't understand is that time has absolutely nothiung to do with it.
  
Do they think we have clocks, timing our billable hours while monitoring our profit-loss margins?  Fer goodness sakes.
