[Magdalen] Safely home

[ME Michaud]

No, by "winter light," she meant the vibrant colors of dawn and sunset,
the strong clear light of the northern skies in winter. If you're familiar
with the work of Maxfield Parrish, you'll see that light in many of his
paintings. He had a little trick, though. He painted winter skies over
summer scenes.

Summer skies here are frequently smoggy and muddy, but winter sunsets
can be glorious.

But you're right, they do come early.
