Landscapes



























In Proctor there aren't many places to go to get nice landscape shots (and considering i hurt my foot the other day and it still hurts I can't walk to many of the places I know of) I got my mom to drive me up to our farm in Chester for a few shots, and that reminded me of the older shots I have from previous years there and of a few from last year in DC. So I hope you like these...




This is a shot of the field at the old farm house. We've quite a few aceres (used to have horses) though most of it is woods.

This is the bend of route 4 one late fall/ early winter morning when I was waitibng for the bus 2 years ago...
...and here it is again the morning after that freak blizzard we had in early 2006. Interesting how different the same place can be, non?

Again, the field at the farm (the first image) after that freak blizzard. It looks so gentle and peacful. I love Vermont for the way the snow looks, but I hate it for the fact that you have to shovel the snow.

The Roosevelt Memorial Bridge at rush hour. I just thought a little bit of urban landscape would provide a nice contrast to our natrual ones.

Lake Barcroft Virginia at about trhis time last year. Taken on the 13th floor of the appartet building accross from it. I love the dulled stormy tones in the sky, and how this was about the most "natrual" scene I had when living in the city.
So I hope my landscapes are contrasting enough in setting, yet still just as masterfully taken.

What a great variety of pictures! The one of the Roosevelt bridge is my favorite, the colors in the sky are gorgeous! I also like the one of the bend in the road, it really pulls your eye into the picture. Nice job!

I love your winter photos, they are great! I really like the limited number of colors, but the extraordinary contrast between them. I also like how the highway curves.

These are some beautiful shots. I have to admit I just love snowy fields; the darkness I can do without, but the silence of snow thrills me.

I especially like your final photo with the autumn seaport scene.

I agree, great variety - The color on the grass of your first photo is so vibrant! Is that just from the natural sunlight?

The road photos are a really wonderful perspective on time. And the color on Lake Barcroft is so crisp!
