Happy New Year & Welcome to 2026 !!!

I see many interesting farm scenes on my travels through Wellington County, Waterloo Region and on my regular treks through Grey and Bruce Counties on my way up to the cottage. Some time ago, I photographed one rural home and experimented with a processing style inspired by work I had seen from a watercolour artist. From that, I created a high key, heavily vignetted minimalist look and created my 'Rural Winter' series. Over time, as I've added to the series, I've become more aware of the type of scene that has potential and keep my eyes open for just such scenes..
A few weeks back, on a trip
to the St. Jacobs Market, I found one that made me pull over to the shoulder, park and walk back 100m or so working on various compositional options.

Sidebar here ... I'm always entertained by the expressions of passing motorists as they try to see or figure out what the hell I see.

This farm with lane-side trees casting shadow down the snow covered slope leading to the field was just right for the next addition to the series.

Happy New Year to you as well! I am looking forward to another year of your photographic artistry! Thanks for all the past photos which I have thoroughly enjoyed!
