Ice Curtain



This curtain of ice at the bottom of a ravine along a creek is at least 20 feet high.

Happy Winter Solstice!

The longest night has come once more,
the sun has set, and darkness fallen.
The trees are bare, the earth asleep,
and the skies are cold and black.
Yet tonight we rejoice, in this longest night,
embracing the darkness that enfolds us.
We welcome the night and all that it holds,
as the light of the stars shines down.
