Photograph info: This photograph was taken today in Nockamixon Township, right next door to Durham Township, while driving my son to school. We had three inches of very light, fluffy snow overnight - enchantingly beautiful but apparently slippery enough to cause a two-hour school delay.

Looks like the "Super Kahuna" storm is coming this weekend. Polish your shovels, wash your long underwear, wax your toboggans!

Camera settings and post-processing: Shot with the Canon EOS 5D Mark II and the Canon 70-200mm f/2.8L IS lens at 70mm, ISO 200, f/10, shutter 1/2500s. Curves for contrast.

Thank you for visiting Durham Township!

I love the simplicity of the composition and the tones and your use of negative space with the sky. The swirled plow pattern in the earth looks as if God himself put his fingerprint upon the land.

Clean and peaceful. I just want to say Aah. Big sigh.

The only sign that man has visited this place
Is the pattern on the field the farmer did trace.
Gray skies, brown trees and white snow give us good reason
To be thankful we're halfway through this cold winter season.
But if we believe the forecast, this weekend should be quite a trip
For old man winter will still have us firmly in his grip.
So if we get the near blizzard and things grind to a halt
Only snowplows and KC will be out earning their salt.

JPH: You made me burst out laughing on that one. A classic.

How nice to see such wonderful proof that, when the sun does not shine, Kathleen does. This is a "best of the best" for your Intelligent Design* edition of the hardbound AWTDT and may we re-title it, "Meditation for a February Morning" (since I don't see no road no-place no-how?:) Maybe is my screen settings, but it does look like a caterpillar on powdered sugar. (Maybe I should have breakfast.)

As for income-salt, in your case Jon, "When it snows, it pours!"

My day is always better when one of your pictures pops up in my RSS reader. This is a lovely scene and makes me want to leave the city and get outside into the country. Thank you for sharing your vision with us.

Lovely photo Kathleen - you can hear the silence. I can imagine the Divine Artist reaching down with His trowel - shaping the white landscape.

This is a daily view for me, but you have made it exceptional today. It always makes me smile. Thanks Kathleen.

I like it.

very graphical, and I like how you composed this shot. Nice work.

I like Noreen's comment. Making the commonplace exceptional is one of the things that makes good photography. And Kathleen does this very well.

beautiful, i like the composition.

this works well - the plough lines bring in the eye to the centre

thanks

Light trip.
