Today remained cold, and our car remained garaged. In the late afternoon, I set out to explore the local landscape, in search of snowy scenes to photograph — an opportunity that comes to Piedmont Georgia once every few years at most. My tranquil surroundings felt so far removed from all the scenes of highway gridlock around Atlanta last night and today, with drivers stuck in their cars for tens of hours, struggling to get home. I was already home, and at home, in the comfortable countryside of Piney Woods Church Road. This photograph captures the mood well — a pastoral scene with winter trees and fields, with a horse peacefully feeding on hay in the foreground.
That’s an awesome pic! With a bit of artistic licence, say maybe shrink the hillside a little bit, could be a great painting! I’m liking this daily digital calendar. The best part is that I can’t flip ahead (to, say, July 4th), and spoil the fun of what is going to be there. Thanks again, -G
Thank you very much, Grant. Unfortunately, Picasa 3 does not include a “hillside shrinker” tool, though I agree that the hill is over the top (so to speak). I’m glad you are enjoying the digital calendar experience, where you can’t look ahead because that doesn’t even exist yet. I am certainly enjoying getting out to Piney Woods Church Road every day, although it was rather brisk out there first thing this morning (Thursday the 30th) — a nearby thermometer read 8 degrees F. I am ready for spring!
