A WINTER DAY IN THE COUNTRY
This shot was taken yesterday, just before dusk. I was going to try to stay true to posting only images I took on THE day, however, the past two days images were not taken the exact day. Yesterday, I set out on an adventure in the country, but when I got home, I felt strongly about the portrait of my dad and decided to post that one instead. That one was taken the day before, but it kept coming back to mind, so I bumped this image yesterday and posted Dad.
So I actually did take some shots of the river today but figured I've already got enough St. Paul landscapes for the time being. This shot seems a little minimalist. But this is what Minnesota Winter is just like sometimes. I think sometimes a black and white image of the country winter is a good classic shot. However, I really like how the birch trees stand out against the gold tree tops in this shot, and I just couldn't settle on black and white. And frankly, this scene gives me a more peaceful and settled feeling than something shot in the city.
I really need to find something new to shoot besides winter landscapes though regardless of whether it's a city or the country. This winter is getting to me!
