The rim of ice around the edges of red stone almost glowed in the grey-day light, but I couldn’t capture it well. It is committed to my memory, and maybe you can imagine it.

Icarus
Who knew he had soared over New Jersey?
Sunrise with the Last Stars
On the east coast, so this is sunrise. Feel free to mentally adjust the title if you have a setting sun above your tide line. 🙂
