To Brandywine Falls. On car, I saw South – a misty white sun in the sky, distances a pale whitish blue –
Daniels comes as I am going to creek. Build fire at head of Falls – Argument over sausages.
Sketching Falls at Afterglow time. Homeward in dark – Strange pale green light in western sky – remains until seven o’clock. Strangeness of the night.
Charles E. Burchfield, January 23, 1916
