Pristine

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



Sitting quietly and undisturbed on a hillside,
 a bench is bundled up in a fresh coat of snow.

    There is something regal about this solitary bench all alone covered in snow.

    Brrrr! I wouldn't want to be sitting out there. Quite a contrast to the weather we are receiving over here in Western Australia! Haha

    I'm certainly happy that this lovely (but wintry) scene is not Charleston since we're leaving for your area in about a week.

    i really like winter shots like these.. not much when the snow's melting and turning to slush.. or the one that turns to ice where it gets really hard to travel..

    Great winter still life! Love the framing and the reduced color palette.

    So pure, D!
    I don't dare to sit on it.
    We walked a lot in that morning!
    I'm sure you had more than just a doughnut when you got home. ;o)

    Even the simplest things look great with your 'designer eye'. The pure white snow emphasises the colour of the timber seat as it's encompassed by the branches above. Really cool!

    There's a loneliness about this little bench as it waits for warmer weather and, perhaps, visitors. Great eye Doug!
