Sights and Sounds

2:30pm, Brooklyn, NY, and fresh snow had fallen that morning.

As I walked to one of my favorite diners in the neighborhood, shivering in too few clothes, as I am wont to do when the cold first descends, I noticed the shocking contrast between the green leaves and the snow. It took a moment for it to really sink in: the green leaves were ON TOP of the snow.

A jarring yet satisfying twist on the usual order of business.
