Winter Calm - No. 2

Winter Calm - No. 2

Taken during one of those gentle snowfalls that coat the trees in that
magical way that makes them irresistible to the photographer’s eye.

The setting is a modest little stream near my house…
one that gets passed every day in one’s routine comings
and goings, without attracting more than a cursory glance.

Then, one February afternoon, Winter’s gentle hand transformed
it into the wonderland that says “Forget the errands! Go home,
get a camera and a tripod, and capture this moment.”

May it evoke the hiss of falling snow in a quiet forest,
and bring you feelings of peace and serenity.

The scene was shot on Ilford Pan F 50 film through a 28-80mm L-Series lens on a Canon EOS-1.

While taken some years ago, this image is now making its first web appearance.
