oo, what reason do they gather? and how can there be shadows in a moonless and firelightless bowl? that must be a bright blinking light in the distance..

Hmmm good point. I guess I always assumed that if I couldn’t see in the dark that it was because everything was shrouded in shadow. That might not actually be true. Oh well, I’m going to keep it here and try to be more aware in the future. As always, thanks for the comment(s)
