Frozen bay, sunshine on the snow

 It looks like the Arctic came to Long Island. The Great South Bay is covered with ice; static in the shallows, flowing with the current in the boating channel. This was low tide: the ocean beach was huge, the tide way, way out, frozen seafoam on the sand, drifts of snow on the dunes, and the tunnel from the parking lot a sheer drop down a wall of snow drift.
