Winter Morning Solitude

Winter is one of my favorite seasons, as it has this great ability to reduce the color palette of the world around us.  Additionally, winter tends to quiet the environment, in which we find ourselves, particularly during or shortly after a fresh snow.

Thus, Winter is a great enabler for getting landscapes that are stark with a sense of being alone, no world intruding upon our moment in the space-time continuum.  Such a moment I captured this week in this image.  A Sun that is highly filtered by the gray sky, a grouping of trees and an expanse of snow covered field with a single set of tracks.

  5. Interesting picture.It’s like being in an in between place. (Btw, I followed you, didn’t I? You’re gone. I wonder who else I’m missing. I’m losing blogs again and support will NOT answer my questions. I lost several about three months ago and had to go round ’em up again. I’ll have to go back and see what I’ve missed on your blog!)

    1. Thank you, thank you! When I saw the way the sun was somewhat visible through the gray skies, I wanted to put it in a place by itself, alone, as opposed to being with the trees. I like your interpretation a lot.

      Yes, you are following me again…not sure what happened, as I’m not trying to get rid of people who follow 🙂

      Glad to have you back!
