6th of December, 2015, the day of frozen fog. The lake was socked in with fog so I went to the top of a hill to watch the first light of dawn, turned red by the fog, lighting up the ridge. The original caption: “A skein of geese in the air and wild turkeys on the hill, frost, fog, and the red of first light on the ridge.”

Tomorrow I’ll post some of these again. I’ve never seen another day like the 6th of December 2016.
