Photography: Warm Winter Sunset

Yesterday was another uncharacteristically beautiful day in Vermont. Skies were an endless blue, the sun shone warm. It was warm. Not what you'd expect in February.

The sun is setting later and later in the evening, too, as we slowly make our way toward spring.

In the twilight as I got to my truck parked near Burlington's lakeshore to go home, I saw that Lake Champlain actually looked inviting. It's still unfrozen, a legacy of this oddly warm winter. The sky was still clear, the wind still.

The whole thing made the lake look simple, pure and calm. So I had to shoot some photos.
