Winter Calm - No.2

Taken during one of those gentle snowfalls that coat the trees in that magical way that makes them irresistible to the photographer’s eye.

The setting is a modest little stream near my house…one that gets passed every day in one’s routine comings and goings, without attracting more than a cursory glance.

Then, one February afternoon, Winter’s gentle hand transformed it into the wonderland that says “Go home, get a camera and a tripod, and capture this moment.”

And so I did, on the lovely fine-grained Ilford Pan-F 50 black and white film.

May it evoke the hiss of falling snow in a quiet forest, and bring you feelings of peace and serenity.
