forgive me for allowing my inner hippie to come out, but this thread is making me feel some pretty heavy feelings of some sort of strong connection with you folks right now.. as in, we are all seeing the same sun set, and it connects us in a way.. i don't know, might seem silly, but it was just my initial feeling.
We boil syrup in the spring and sell to our charterers in summer. This is us leaving marquette with a small load of syrup heading for Duluth. sail transport!.
for those of us that milk cows, we see sunrises more often than sunsets
here is a sunrise for a week or so ago.
enjoy:
