More Winter Shadows

 It wasn't just along roads that I noticed winter shadows, fences sometimes also created striking patterns,. And sometimes when I was snowshoeing along a trail through the woods I would come across an interesting pattern of shadows.   

On a big cattle farm, this was a pretty serious fence to maintain, but it casts neat shadows .

Another fence, just down the road from our previous home.  This fence looked like it could use some maintenance!

Not exactly a fence, but there's an old fence buried in there somewhere, overgrown with shrubs that are creating these beautifully curved drifts.

Some interesting patterns in shallow drifting snow.

And sometimes it's just a beautiful scene in the woods.  Winter shadows were always a striking part of the world around me.  Today they're limited to the occasional shots of the tree shadows out behind our home, on the open golf course.

  4. Beautiful photos; we haven't had many shadows on snow this winter, it's just constantly cloudy.

  5. You must have good memories of when you took those very interesting shadow pictures as well. Love that second, "higgledy-piggledy" fence. One wouldn't necessarily notice it until the sun accented it with shadows, turning it into something beautiful. The wind is a marvellous sculptor, and can turn ordinary things beautiful.

  7. Those shadows are sure interesting to look at. When driving the intermittent flickering in my eyes of the sun and shadows I find quite annoying.
