On this the last day of 2011, how to sum up the year here and around the globe? This image for one – which got me thinking about Anna Nalick’s song Just Breathe, from 2005 – my vote for the soundtrack of 2011.
Lyrics and original recording here, and a live acoustic performance here.

The winter solstice, or the “return of the light”, has been celebrated across the globe from time immemorial. Christmas Day, the annual observance of the birth of Jesus Christ, is generally believed to have borrowed heavily from those earlier solstice traditions. The candlelight service here is at the Deep River Congregational Church.

This little garage in the middle of nowhere seems most photogenic in the early evening of late winter. I took about 10-12 shots, from different angles/distances, and printed up a few of them for the owners. This one seemed to be their favorite.

Late winter, out in the middle of a mountain pond, temperature hovering at freezing but no wind, dressed warmly, hanging out with friends – the allure of ice fishing.

At this time of the year, glimpses of spring: the quality and strength of the light, disappearing snow on south facing slopes, perhaps a greater degree of leisure in the farm animals. Curious in this image that the sugar shack is not fired up.
