Walking Alone



My Saturday morning photoshoots are typically solitary adventures. They usually consist of a combination of driving and walking. The time spent on foot seems to decrease along with the temperature.

On this day, with a new snow covering the ground, I paused to look back. Only my solitary line of footprints marred the delicate snow. It is a privilege to enjoy such beautiful scenes but to do so one must rise early, step out into the chilly morning air and immerse themselves in the surrounding beauty.

As I capture the images that capture my attention, somehow the air does not seem so cold.

  2. A beautiful way to start the day. I love how the bit of color is touching the sky and your solitary footprints.

  3. I don't mind the cold so much, it's the rising early (before 7:00) that I can't seem to muster. Solitary moments can be quite blissful, especially when the evidence is in the snow.

  4. This is a great post Salty.. I enjoy my walks with Big Pete but nothing beats being out early before anyone as had chance to disturb anything or cause alarm... the peace and quiet is something I enjoy at these times and I tend to have better encounters with wildlife as well.

  6. wonderful, the sense of privilege is very apparent in this shot, as if the tree was lit up just for you.
