And so we have reached Labor Day, which symbolically marks the end of summer. Here on the east coast of the United States, and despite the pandemic, it has been a glorious summer. So it seems appropriate to end it with a brilliant idyll of summer. Figure 1 shows people fishing on the shore of Spry Pond in Arlington, MA. What is more symbolic of the lazy days of summer than fishing? What is more symbolic of the end of summer than a brilliant orange sunset?
