Ice Fishing


Last dusk of the year

one fisherman on the ice

sentinel of slanting light

These photos were taken at Mountain Home Reservoir on the last afternoon of 2011. The light was warm and welcoming, but a harsh wind scudded across the ice, scraping our cheeks and necks. The tiny figure in this photo never appeared to shift positions the whole time we were there. I imagined him or her waiting patiently for hours for slumbering fish to wake from their underwater dreams.
