December Light 2

I first used this title a year ago . . . when I caught morning light in December here.    Solstice time for me . . .  I want there to be light, preferably the golden kind outdoors.  These fotos were all taken in less than 90 minutes.  Lynx was southbound,

as was Joan Turecamo, each on the far side of a barge.

Maersk Katarina and Soley-1 awaited on the hook.

Overseas Atalmar did the same, closer to the Staten Island side.

As the sun declined behind Staten’s summit, a last gleam of sunlight did its magic.

A fortunate building in Brooklyn appeared to catch fire as

sun set over beyond the Kills.

Craig Eric Reinauer headed north and

Barbara McAllister slowed up to remake the tow.

All fotos by Will Van Dorp, whose batteries run low in this season when there’s a need for light . . . .  If you’ve never been down at the Battery at sunset this time of year, it’s high time you treat yourself.
