One of the finer features of the yurt is this simple plexiglas dome.
It brings in the loveliest light all day long.
Yurt dwellers talk about the changing light of day as well as the seasons.
I remember this from my winters in the yurt.
I could always tell the slow shift to the springtime position of the sun.
It filled me with sadness, though.
It signaled the end of my winter residency
and a time to think about heading back home for the summer.

Here we're holding up the walls as Paul works outside
'crocheting' together the loops.
This creates a strong bond between the walls
and the roof.
