over the cliff, valley thaw, 12-2-18

Over a cliff lies a small valley which can get filled with snow and ice.
In late winter, early spring, it can go between freezing and thawing, and thereby creates a peculiar space, neither pond nor marsh but both at times.
It creates interesting reflective spaces to see new, emerging, old and dead trees all bathed in interesting light and filtered by depth of field via telephoto lensing and post photography processing.
I mean to present it here as a balance between factual and poetic evocations of changes in nature.

On this day, December 2, it rained fairly hard, and water from the Pike River flooded over the valley which already had ground coverage in ice and snow.

Please see this and other photos in the series, "over the cliff, valley thaw" in album view, to see how the cliff and valley change over time.
