Sea smoke envelopes the sunrise and lighthouses in Canal Park. The intense cold of a passing "Polar Vortex" generated sea smoke to envelope the mid-January dawn. This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. Psalm 118:24 While Mid-January is deep winter, the fact is that daylight hours are getting longer, the average temperatures are now rising, and the cold snaps will soon be shorter. Nature declares that hope is rising for better days ahead, just as God promises hope in Him by using His creation to prove it.
