I was attracted right away to this scene by the five trees and the four fence posts. I like numbers and spacing as a compositional element. I made this image of the winter aspens near Hopewell Lake in northern NM.

Highway 64 near Hopewell Lake, New Mexico. It was -6°F this morning on the road to Ah-shi-sle-pah for a private two day photography adventure. The cold was too cold to get out. I wound down the window made a quick iPhone image, poured myself another cup of tea and headed off to meet my client. Stay tuned for up coming images from the trip.

Winter Lake

San luis valley lake colorado
It was cold out there. We pulled into the deserted rest area. There were no tire tracks or footprints in the snow. Within a couple of minutes there was a line of vehicles, whose passengers lined up to use the restroom. From the silence amid the gusts of the freezing cold wind, to a full service rest area. Onward.

Fresh piles of snow on Vallecito Peak. There is a faint outline of “Corn Woman” my favorite, or “Weaver Woman” the trees in the center of the snow field. She will become more prominent as the snow melts.
