When travel is not possible, walking dangerous– not the least of which is lack of visibility in a blizzard–look around your house. What is there that catches your eye, even if for a brief moment?
Answer: A photograph after storm #5 was over, back in early January, and I ventured out toward sunset.
This is another entry for my “Photography for Shut-Ins” series. Post a photograph taken on another day and remember to charge your batteries for the future.
Then, have another hot chocolate with marshmallow fluff.

I forgot to say that this is a handsome photo.
Just looked at your latest production, looks as if you are on a NEW path. Trail blazing?
Jean-Claude (written in my best Simone Signouret accent. I bet that name dates me!), yes, a new path, indeed. It found me, actually. I’m just trying to read the signs along the way! Thanks for visiting both!
Talking about Simone, I just watched again Room at the top – [http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/42075/Room-at-the-Top/overview -]
She was fabulous. I have yet to watch Madame Rosa. Just have to press the play button. Will also look at The Diaboliques.[http://filmsdefrance.com/FDF_Les_diaboliques_rev.html]
Somewhere in space lives my comment to you from yesterday on the shopping cart photo, which I love for all it represents- that solitary soldier, empty, abandoned after being filled with provisions like mini marshmallows and hot chocolate and soup.
Movies, blogging, photo taking, electricity, slippers, no dogs to walk- I’m thinking about you.
I love the way how the light reflects off the wires. It helps with the sense of movement and it leads one’s eye around the corner. Nice.
I sometimes think that photography is a bit like one of those moon missions where rocks are collected over a short period and then are still being analysed 40 years later. That’s one of the reasons why I don’t throw out any images; because they can mean something completely different to me years later.
a kind of tunneling effect with light at the end of the tunnel, i also like the lines scribed so delicately in the wires and the brushlike strokes balancing on the opposite side. and i thought we were done with winter last week.
yet your picture from january seems to be a promise, i’d like to take back that day and replace yesterdays storm with it. i guess spring around the corner is a matter of degree.(no pun intended)
These motion shots are always so vivid. So cool that you can tame kinesis like this.
