A hauntingly beautiful, low-key shot of a lone mermaid statue in a Bridgeport garden on December 18. The mermaid is partially encased in heavy, wet snow that clings to her head and shoulders like a shroud. She is positioned to the right, gazing into a blurred, wintry background. The image is edited with a cool, silvery tone, emphasizing the quiet resilience of the "one who stayed" while the rest of the garden has been cleared for winter.

The mermaid left behind… probably because she was made of stone and not of metal. She was left alone to guard the garden that has been covered with snow. 🧜‍♀️❄️
