The Quiet Picture

Finding my voice in the silence of nature

Sunny break

Category: creek,winter

It was supposed to be overcast with a chance (risk) of snow, so I figured I had good odds at photographing the creek I was betting was still open. My theory is that if you can see your shadow, it’s not good for waterfall photography. So when I got to the creek (had to do some very serious wading through the snow, even with snowshoes on), the sun started coming out. I made a few half-hearted efforts but gradually lost my inspiration as my shadow was growing more distinct. Silhouette in the icePacked my gear and pulsed through the snow again and when I got back on the road, the clouds started moving in again. 

[sarcasm]What a lucky break.[/sarcasm]

Is it just my imagination or is that a silhouette of a wolf’s head in the ice? Or a pig. I can’t decide. Anyway, it’s very unusual I see things like this and now this is the second time in a week. I think my brain is going soft.

    From the thumbnail it looks more like a wolf, but larger size appeared more like a pig. What ever it may be, still nice :)

    Hehe, I had similar incident today, that is why I published only pictures :D It was supposed to be overcast and some snowfall, but it was sunny. When I got my scenery mode changed into bird mode, it was suddenly overcast :D

    Hmm, it might as well be a bear too. Definitely a bear sniffing air and raising its upper lip :D

    Yup, a bear actually, the more I look at it. :D
