Sonder?

I know I've been talking about the cold so much, but wow, it is still pretty nasty! Despite the windchill being two degrees this morning, the sun was shining and I was able to get some great footage. Mainly, I got more b-roll footage. I went all over downtown Ithaca for a couple hours. Some places I got included different commissioned art pieces, various views of creeks, driving down the street, the State Theater, some historical landmarks, one of the planet walk stations, the Ithaca High School sign and driving by the lake.

It's comforting to see people I don't know all around me, living their lives. It's a bit like sonder. There was a family running around doing the Carl Sagan planet walk together. In another place, there was a lady walking her dog, and then there were quite a few couples hurrying along together in the cold. Everyone has their own story and I can't manage to capture them all, but I hope to uncover many different facets to the inhabitants of Ithaca.

Here is part of a mural depicting an abstract view of the Finger Lakes that I photographed today:
