you guessed it right that this is a contrived shot. i went for my walk this morning, beautiful sunshiny day, no wind, and best of all no icy sidewalks so i did my usual 2.5 miles walk, at the end of which is the shopping mall so i was able to get my groceries. every cell in my body thanked me.
there were still a lot of hardened snow on the side of the road. i saw a big mound that is not far from the sidewalk so i didn't really trespass on anyone's property, and because of that the mound of snow/ice was still pure white. i had the brilliant idea of putting one of my feng shui bracelets on it. i kind of like the capture of the contrasting texture along with an errant oak leaf.
