Winters Blanket - a photo on Flickriver

Winters Blanket

Three years I’ve waited, an event affixed firmly in my mind. The sun rising behind a set of snow covered Appalachian mountains. Light playing softly over the peaks, as the shadows just begin to lift. The skeletal trees topped in white, giving you a glimpse of what yet my be in the coming months. The sky beginning to burn just behind the clouds, giving just the hint of light. The scene I describe is one i glimpsed three years ago, unable to stop and capture the image then, I held on, hoping for another day where I may yet get to shoot those mountains, and at last, I found my shot. Three years of waiting for the right conditions, and finally something to show for it. As winter draws on, perhaps I will find another few shots such as this, as rare as the snow is down in the south.
