Seeing 2011 (#45)

For your consideration: the closing moments of another cold, wintry day.

Not much comfort is promised by this setting . . . even the warmth suggested by the lantern takes on a furnace-like glow, suggesting it as a source of being scorched rather than thawed. What small light offered here seems doomed to be engulfed and smothered by the impending darkness -- even the full moon is destined to lose itself, momentarily, behind a chill blanket.
