There’s not much sun now –
three hours or so from dawn to dusk
and in those three hours, the sun doesn’t climb very high
so that on clear days the world is bathed
in soft pink and lavender and gold
the horizon rimmed in turquoise
beneath a pale sky
until one day the wind shifts,
and gathers sheets of ice
already formed at sea,
and pushes the ice to shore
where it gathers the light,
and you forget about the things you thought you missed…
the life you left behind
in that moment
before the sun sinks to the ice-covered sea
and everything turns to fire

All nice pictures. The Sun looks great in the last one.
Thanks, Mike.
Simply Breathtaking – loving your photos!!!
Thanks a lot!
Outstanding!!!!!!
Thanks. The light up here this time of year is amazing. But we’re losing it at a rate of about 12 minutes day, with more sunlight gone each day. Then on December 7, the sun won’t rise at all. It will stay down till January 6, at which time it will peak above the horizon for about 23 minutes. This may sound strange, but we find it exciting…
Doesn’t sound strange at ALL. I’m not sure if I’d be able to do the no sunlight for a month thing. Although, it does sound very exciting!
Beautiful light, even if it is for such a short period of time.
So pretty.
Pretty too … where is auto correct when you need it?
