Last Light Stillness

It’s the last light of the day and a stillness has settled on Loch Leane. Lingering on the balcony, with family inside at dinner, I’m juxtaposed between light and dark, between calm and bustle, between cold and warmth. I’ll linger just a little longer before saying goodnight to this scene.
