When the world gives you lemons, make lemonade. When the weather gives you snow.....and you lose light and shadows, think minimalism.
After our camera club outing to shoot (mostly indoors) at the Ukrainian Cultural Village, I made a detour into Elk Island National Park to create a few new winter images. No glowing sunsets, no shadows, and the elk were so far back into the falling snow that the image is too grainy to use. Instead, I used the low visibility to create a couple of simpler compositions that I feel express the weather.

Snow falling and heavy overcast flattens the light and made walking hard as I could not see contours on the surface very well. That lack of detail makes a simple image that enhances a feeling of isolation. Certainly there was little of signs of other`s to this lakeside viewpoint.
