I took this image last weekend as I was heading to do another shot. The farther I drove on the back roads, the more this low level fog seemed to be building in the small valleys in the farm fields. I had to make a snap decision which house I was going to ask to shoot from their yard and I picked a good one willing to let me have at it. This was like a half mile away and there was a lot of atmosphere between my camera and the farm. The intense backlit color was actually better when the sun was higher but that created so much flare I had to wait for the sun to subdue lower on the horizon. It is surprising how fast the sun goes down almost seemingly on fast forward. Tomorrow night we are set to see the arrival of 12-18 inches or more and I am hopeful to get out and get some shots. I am hoping to get my winch back on my jeep tomorrow which offers a bit of reassurance if I need to pull myself out or help someone stranded somewhere. the last time we got that much snow, a snow emergency was declared and I went out anyway and got some good shots that had deep pristine snow. It can be a little unnerving out on your own when the conditions are a bit dicey but I carry a shovel, drinks, hand warmers, blankets etc, just in case.
