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?

    Beautiful pattern. I suppose the driver didn't realise what he had done.

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

    Nice frozen abstract...5% of people get up in the night to answer a call of nature; 5% to raid the refrigerator, and the other 90% to go home!
