Just cold enough for the morning fog to arrange shattery fringes on winter flowers.
Still, there are meager promises of spring, promises that are easily withdrawn.

Flurry
The essence of a day etched by falling snow.
Similar to the previous post, these photographs are made using a slow shutter speed and camera movement, but with very different weather conditions and light.

Sketching the landscape with photography. These photographs were made using a slow shutter speed and camera movement. Other than some minor level adjustments they are as the camera saw them.
Animate bar(k)odes: the data of the landscape.

listen
It’s not just what you see but also what you hear. This water moving in the cold of winter, it is not soundless. There is music here.

Frondescence
It seems unlikely, in the deep cold of winter, that sleeping branches could sprout tiny crystal leaves overnight, and yet…
Perhaps these little twigs are dreaming of spring.

Window Frost Details
These are the delicate details of frost growth on a window. It has since warmed up here significantly and these icy apparitions have now vapourized but when I look at these images I find they are suggestive of elaborate gardens and graceful trees, Chinese landscape paintings and dragons.
