You’re looking at a photographic negative. Not in the sense of reversed colors, but of reversed states. A beach, once a place of warmth - now a cold, foreboding place. Green blades of grass now made brown by the chill. The snow of winter in place of the sands of summer. This scene will transform back to its summer state in a few months. But for now, it holds a quiet ethereal beauty of its own. Photo blogging: Waiting for Dawn, a photo of the Sturgeon Bay Canal Light posted here on New Year’s Day has been selected as today’s Photo of the Day at Earth Shots. Earth Shots is a great site to peruse to get a sense of this magnificent planet we call home.

Congratulations on your POTD, James :) On your current post, I like the simplicity of the picture. The negative explanation is an interesting observation too.
James, the Orton method is a perfect choice for this. Beautiful!
