Dusk in winter comes early (5:21pm). The harbor has gone still. The last boat to haul- a workboat - hangs in the slings.
There are more people living in town this winter because of Covid. A few summer homes on my street that are usually dark all winter, have lights on in 2020. Several have changed hands this season.
I live in an old house in the village up the hill from the harbor, and sit in the kitchen 3 floors beneath the lit Christmas tree on a widow's walk that is full of drifted snow, in the top of the photo.
