Title
Entre chien et loup
The Hour of Change

Entre chien et loup is a multi-layered French expression describing a specific time of day, just before night, when the light is so dim you cannot distinguish a dog from a wolf.

It is not only about levels of light. It expresses that limit between the familiar and the unknown, the domestic and the wild — an uncertain threshold between hope and fear. This is the hour of change.

Dawn, remote glacier.
Blue hour over the divide.
Glacier in cloud.
Entre chien et loup — the hour of change.
Last light on the ranges.
Night, and the stars come out.
Ridges at dusk.
The hour of change.
