One of my favorite things to do in the winter, after the snow falls, is to look at the shadows cast against shades of white snow. I love the blues, purples and grays that appear in abstract and recognizable shapes when the sun or moon comes out on a clear, cold day or evening. I walk and look for interesting things that happen when light plays against objects and textures. The subtle ridges and lines created by wind over the surface of a field of snow and the play of light against these surfaces can make for some interesting abstract images. Trees show another side of themselves as their mirror image is cast in shadow on the white covered ground. Snow, light, wind, cold, ice, trees, plants make some nice art during the chilly days and evenings of winter.
Kim, you would have loved watching the moon shadow on snow of smoke leaving our chimney last night, it was amazing! I'm a little sad about the freezing rain predicted for the next two days...this snow has been perfect.
