Sundown at Sickles

My wife and I pulled into the parking lot of Sickles Market in Little Silver 15 minutes before it closed on Sunday evening.

In July, NJM wrote about the 100th anniversary of this immaculate, family-run farm, food market and plant nursery (click here to read the story). Now at last was my chance to see it. But as we pulled into a parking spot, the descending sun announced a 15-minute special of its own.

So I sat on the hood of my car and took this picture.

Dramatic? Not exactly.

But the soft, embracing, end-of-day light gave it a quality of spirit that had vanished by the time we emerged with our bundles in the gloaming only 15 minutes later.
