Sunset Over Michigan in January by Drew Patton We watch as the pale-yellow Sun dips towards the horizon, a snow-covered, white hellscape that mocks the vibrance and viridescence this place once held. The world falls beneath shadow as the Sun vanishes from view in a moment, almost apocalyptic, The dying day’s light clinging to its final moments of life on soft, wispy edges of ash-colored clouds. And with the day gone, a calming, deep infinite takes dominion over the skies above, the first speckles of starlight peering through and our minds emptied as they begin to fill with the wonder and peace and warmth of night.
