Waiting for Traditional Winter
Waiting for Traditional Winter
Sunrise in February
Our family’s Thanksgiving tradition is to pull our winter recreational equipment out from storage, get it ready for use and better yet head to the snow covered hills for a ski adventure. This winter the dust has collected on snow shoes, cross-country skis, and sleds. I understand that our arctic jet stream has tipped eastward to hover over Siberia and the Eastern hemisphere. I have waited since the Fall to capture on film banks of white snow casting blue and lavender shadows. Why wait for traditional images of winter? The diaphanous fog and crystal vegetation are evocative of the unusual and overlooked, perhaps holding more import than our expectations.
