Leaving Early

Tire Tracks in the Snow, near Harrison, Ohio  © Doug Hickok  All Rights Reserved



Making fresh tire tracks in the snow, a car leaves signs of departing home in the bluish light of frigid dawn. With the streets utterly still and quiet so early on a holiday weekend, I was curious what errand this person ran...

 a trip to the tanning salon perhaps?

  11. Superb blue tones and a wonderful abstract composition!
    The driver is a photographer who left for an early morning photo walk…
