Over the last few years, I’ve looked at the first day of the year as a fresh start to a better year.
Although each year has brought new struggles, these years also bring new strengths.
And always beautiful sunsets.

On this day one year ago, the sea fog was starting to come ashore. For a brief moment, the colors from the setting sun refused to submit to the drabness.

During the next few minutes, the coastal haze continued its push inward, but the sun’s reflection could still be seen on the water.
There is a good possibility of sea fog covering the entire beach area during the winter months in the gulf on the western shores of Florida.
Within the next ten minutes, the beach was enveloped with a layer of sea fog, and the colors faded away.
A black and white presence filled the beach with a tint of sepia. It’s eerie but beautiful at the same time.
About five minutes later, an image emerged from the fog.

A man standing on a paddleboard, making his way along the shore, rowed past and soon disappeared back into the fog.
May this new year be your best year ever. That’s really all that I could ask for this year.
Happy New Year!
