This was the first night of the 8-day blackout when the house was still warm. The wind was still roaring outside.

You captured a moment I'm sure neither of you will ever forget. I'd crop out about 1/3rd of the area on the right to get rid of all the negative space.

Don't think it will have the same impact without that negative space. I'd leave it as is.

Thanks gibbit, blondine, Zansho, mike.
Appreciate your comments.
It was so unreal, difficult and sometimes really frustrating
to have a completely dark, cold town for more than a week.
Heating, lighting and cooking all dependent on electricity!
I look at the photos and I feel it.
But also the times like this pic where we just dealt with it in peace.

I like it and think the negative space works. It was a dark time.

Nice shot, great light. I wouldn't crop this at all, it would lose the atmosphere, imo :)

Thanks Dan. Thanks Suffolk Gal.
He really was a little spot of light in a very dark house.
