From an original photograph taken in 2006. This was a still morning at daybreak on New Year’s Day. The water in the sound was holding its breath, waiting on the sun to awaken. The little shrimp boat had its nets out but it wasn’t working. The motor was silent. Instead, it was turned into the sun to watch it rise on a new year. At the helm, a hard working soul, who probably hadn’t partied the night before, had made it his business to go out to meet the first day of the future. Side note: Those aren’t chem trails. Jets had just flown over from the marine base. They were up early, too. The base has a sign at its entrance that says, "The Sound you hear is the Sound of Freedom." The jets are extremely loud. They rumble deep in your soul.

The fisherman and the fighter pilots on New Year’s dawn are an unforgettable moment in time. And now, you are are there too.
