Stark

During one of my snow excursions in Vermont, I saw these two lonely-looking trees standing alone near a deep snowdrift. I spent 15 minutes or so out in the single-digit cold to see if there was the right angle to get the shot I wanted. I had to dig down in a ditch with my tripod and shoot up the hill to get the one tree on the crest. I really love how the scene was absent of color, this is a color picture, but there is only black, white and gray in the scene. The starkness of the two trees against the snow and matching sky create a unique feeling for me.
