Winter Afternoon

Lake Huron shoreline -- Saturday, January 21, 2012

On a winter afternoon the sliding, slanting sun lights up the eastern sky, as well as the west. The single digit temperatures of the last few nights turned White Rock Shoal into an arctic scene. So white, so surreal that in the daytime brightness, the sun would hurt my eyes.

Come four o'clock, late in the day, the scene glows pastel and cold as the daylight creeps ever west across Michigan toward Wisconsin and spreads a layer of darkness over Lake Huron.
