Four frames of a still pond returning the sunset to itself. When water goes glassy at day's end it doubles the world, and the reflection often outshines the thing it mirrors. I worked this quietly, letting the color deepen frame to frame. It is a small, cohesive study of one ordinary body of water made briefly extraordinary by light.
