Shooting at dusk
The dark months are coming to an end. After a heavy snowfall last night it was refreshing to walk home while looking at a clear, saturated blue sky. The sun had set, but it was not yet dark. The fact that it wasn’t already dark when I left work reminds me that there are brighter days [...]
