Windswept and frigid.
Lonely, beautiful in frozen solitude with just one other sharing the alpine majesty.
Only the winter wind breaks the silence.
Clouds fill the sky over sun warmed summits.
Trails come alive with mountain adventurers.
Seasons change, the mountains remain.
New England at its finest!
There are four reasons I love being a photographer in New Hampshire.
Spring.
As is typical of New England weather, the stream-side rocks and surrounding forest was covered in 6 inches of late April snow the day before I made this photo. The remnants of which can be seen is the forest beyond the stream.
Summer.
In the summer, sunrise comes too early, and sunset too late, but there are flowers, oh yes, plenty of flowers. Whether in my yard, deep in the woods, or waist deep in a pond, flowers of all kinds are one of my top choices for photographic subjects.
Autumn.
The colors of Autumn, there is no single better reason than Autumn’s glorious color to live and photograph in New England!
Winter.
My second favorite season, after Autumn, Winter provides some of the best photographic opportunities. As long as you’re willing to brave the cold.
Straight out of “Landscape Photography 101.”
Now here’s a theme I can sink my teeth into. A strong foreground element starts your visual journey into the photograph, with the main subject in the distance, the destination.
Summer Warmth.
(from my favorite water-lily hot spot)
Winters Cold Embrace.
(I was particularly drawn to the apparent reflection, rendered in ice and snow, of the distant mountain)
Summer for me is:
Waterfalls,
Water Lilies,
Water Snakes, yes, water snakes,
And I couldn’t possibly forget:
Lady’s Slippers, with a few bunchberry,
And lupine,
Have a GREAT summer, I know I plan to!
