Winter Simplicity

[Jameel Hyder]

Often, as landscape photographers, we chase light and look for the explosion of color, the perfect sunrise or sunset. Winter, however, provides the very antithesis of this in almost monochrome - form, textures and shapes. These often show up where we are least likely to look for. The image below is a roadside shot from Alberta, Canada as we were returning from a week up in the Banff/Canmore area. A glimpse outside the window from a moving vehicle caught my eye. We found a place to park a little further up and walked back a bit to capture this.

Comments and C&C appreciated as always.

My first thought when I saw this was rail road tracks until I read your narrative. It still makes for a very nice visual winding path through the scene.

Hey Jameel,

What a cool looking shot! That is so true about the snow, and I like that track through it.
