Closer

We're getting a little closer to 2013...

Winter Road

Last winter was an exceptional one for hoarfrost. There were many days when the frost would blanket the trees and stay well into the day, sometimes even overnight. It was a winter wonderland!

I shot this picture in Winnipeg. I chose to go to an older part of the city, where the trees were plentiful and mature. The resulting images I took had beautiful canopies of frost covered branches reaching across the roads to meet.

I shot at a focal length of 27 with an aperture of f/8 and shutter speed of 1/200.

Once on my computer I cooled the tones even more than what was already present, which resulted in a blue tint to the snow and ice that I quite liked.

Driving Through Winter

The Road, it Winds

The road, it winds; it is not straight. The road to recovery, to knowledge, to healing, to becoming old and wise is rarely without bends and curves. I wonder if the additional miles we trod and the more we experience along the way, I wonder if these make us stronger. If it were so easy, so direct, would the end result be the same?
