"I Used to Wonder at the Halo of Light" an excerpt from Thoreau, relating to the glinting light of human made circumstance in a natural setting.

The land dissolves beneath a burning horizon, held together by layers of wax, pigment, and mark-making that feel as geological as they do painterly. A single cloud anchors the sky while everything below it surrenders to atmosphere.
