Sun or shade?

I’m a big fan of sunshine, except when there’s too much of it. I prefer hiking where there’s shade, like from trees or cliffs. Yet sometimes, like today, it’s too chilly there. The colonnade of trees was like nature’s cathedral, however with less sunlight it was cool enough to make my nose run. I always get a runny nose when it’s below 50°F/10°C. So even though the open pastureland was visually boring, it was sufficiently warm. But not too warm, because it was overcast, with the clouds filtering out some of the sun’s rays. An adequate compromise, I guess.
