The sun is out today, following a week of cold, gray mist. Coming from California it took me over a decade in the Pacific Northwest to appreciate the winters here. While I still love the sunshine, I’m happy to report that I’m fully acclimated.

A film-like color photo of a solitary figure walking on a dirt path through a misty field. Tall evergreen trees and bare deciduous trees line the right side of the image, their tops fading into thick fog. The atmosphere is moody and ethereal, with the fog creating a soft, gray filter over the scene. The grass in the field appears brown and winter-like, suggesting this may be captured during a cold season. The small scale of the person against the towering trees and enveloping mist creates a sense of solitude and contemplation.
