The Winter Solstice has come and past, and slowly our days are beginning to lengthen once again. Now is the time when Winter will really start announcing itself in New England.
As I write this post, there is a gentle snow falling in our yard, which will make those who are wishing for a white Christmas happy, so they can sing that song without a sense of longing for what could have been. This also is the time to start pulling together some of my wintry images…
This shot goes back 15 years, when my daily commute would take me past this locale quite frequently (I like to vary my route into work, when possible). This particular location also has a really nice aqueduct, which I will highlight another time.
I really like the stillness of the landscape when it’s snowing, as sound doesn’t carry quite as far, thus giving a sense of being by oneself in the moment. The blue of the canoe and the more muted tones of its surroundings made this stand out a bit. I’ve done other treatments of this image that highlight the blue a bit more, but I have to admit that I’m partial to keeping the entire image a bit more subdued.
