Remarks & Notes

Anticipation
Winter air is laden with moisture and a light fog swirls in the airy blue hour of dusk on January 25, 2013. Stillness of the moment is broken as a distant air horn blowing for Trout Creek is barely heard. Another louder horn blast announces an approaching westbound train crossing Martin Creek Road.
