Long Gone Winter

This is an old image I took in Providence this past winter, when it seemed colder than it had ever been before.  Skipping the rest of what seems to have been a particularly harsh season has left me with no regrets but I thought I would post this photograph in dedication to all those poor souls searching for a glimpse of spring.

And a note on the scratchiness of the image: this is what happens when you run a half-shot roll of film through airport security.  The faint whiteish clouds left by the x-ray machine do remind me of the Milky Way in the night sky, which always appears a bit denser than the scattered stars around it.
