Photo of the Day: Sunset, Overpeck Creek, Bergen County NJ

These days, with the hours of daylight dwindling—and the cold of late fall held haphazardly at bay—I take every opportunity to walk, including in Overpeck County Park, a few miles from where I live in Northern New Jersey.

I was especially anxious to get my walking in earlier this week, before the onset of three days of rain, in whole or in part. This sunset on the adjoining Overpeck Creek, a tributary of the Hackensack River, filled me with such a sense of longing for what I knew was about to pass that I took this photo to memorialize the moment.
