This one's for Ben. The sun rises on the 5th anniversary of the earthquake that tragically claimed so many lives in Haiti, including a Lutheran seminarian and my friend, Ben Larson. The first train picture I took after his death was similar to this one, and I wrote a reflection on it that was posted here:http://www.lightsourcephoto.com/Photographers%20Railroad%20Page/Archives/010111BryantKadenTheSunRisesAgain.html. It's still hard to believe how much destruction was done in just a few minutes and how deep the grief is still for Ben's family and friends, but moments like this remind me of the hope the faith that we shared gives me. The sun still rises.
