The Calm Before the Storm by lauriehiggins

The Calm Before the Storm

Some days you just have more time than others. Today, I actually took some time to take photos and visited lots of places. This photo was prompted by a conversation with my daughter. Then storm prep took over. Apparently a blizzard might be coming our way...
You wouldn't know about the blizzard from this beautiful calm and clear picture!

I absolutely love the one drunken post there. I think the whole shot is about that. Never mind the divine reflections.

I hope it doesn't end up being what they're predicting for Boston. I'm looking forward to some more snow here.

Stay warm. We're supposed to get rain tonight as well. Nothing like snow I know.

This is very calm and I love the reflections. Hope you aren't snowed under too badly and that you'll be safe!

Great capture of the calm . . . the clouds, the reflection, the stillness depicted. The tilted post is great because it goes with the idea of something amiss despite the regularity of the rest.

For a second shot, I wonder if cropping out one of the posts in the front would have made it less like you are peering through goal posts? Perhaps the one on the left, so the snow becomes more of a "hint" ? No, when I used my hand to cover it up alternately, I'm thinking the one on the right, even though I like how the sun hits it . . .

Great you are getting prepared! We lost power for only about an hour last night and we had to scurry around looking for candles. Stay warm and safe.

Indeed!

trying to work out the purpose of those poles. Love the light and the snow on the ground and the POV. Hope you have the fire going and stay warm!

I love everything about this. A blizzard indeed! It's been snowing since 7 this morning. Now the wind is picking up.

A pretty view Laurie, love the crooked post too. I hope you aren't hit too hard with the snow, but it sounds pretty wicked.
February 9th, 2013  
wow! this seriously IS the calm before! I bet it doesn't even bear a close resemblance to this now!

Fabulous lines and reflections especially the leaning over pole.
