Within Darkness There is Light
Unlike many, I love the dark days of winter. There is a kind of enforced hush that falls across the landscape, even here in noisy, bright New York. Maybe it is because I am deep into reading Kristin Lavransdatter, but this year I am really enjoying the light and the lack of light.
This morning, it was particularly lovely.

Oh, not me, I hate the dark days of winter.. but Yes, it was a lovely dawn--From my window, Manhattan looked like a city of gold--the morning sun reflected off the glass and all looked gilded.
ReplyDeleteI took a photo--i don't know how well it came out-but more than that, i LOOKed. I have it in me, (even if not as a captured image to share with others!)
what stunning photos robyn. you capture the stillness. i read that book years ago and loved it too. xxx
ReplyDeleteI so agree with you on winter days. Thanks for reminding me of those books...I bought the trilogy several years ago but they reside in the hundreds of other unread books I love so much. They sound like a perfect winter read. Hope you're feeling better, good holidays to you.
ReplyDeleteI, too, adore winter! And Kristin Lavransdattir is one of my favorite books ever--all 3 of them.
ReplyDeletecool pics. i seem to be enjoying the winter as it is so far this year - (not normal for me) - feeling fortunate that sourness about the holiday season is also impermanent.
ReplyDeleteI love winter, and I'm always a bit sad when the last snow melts. However, when I'm driving on icy roads, fear and anxiety arise! My least favorite part.
