The pipe is part of the hydro power installation at Nooksack Falls.

The Dark of the Year

The winter solstice has arrived, and the days are short here at 49.25°N. Fortunately I get to escape the winter dark and spend a couple of weeks at the opposite end of the globe in Melbourne, Australia.




The sun rises late...




...the vegetables are frozen in the gardens...




...the sun sets early...




...and the greenhouses glow orange.
