Today was a day for driving around in the snow. So off I went. Brought a friend along, a fellow photographer, someone that I have not seen in a very long time. An absolute age has passed since we last took pictures together.

We wound up on gravel roads a fair bit. Gravel roads with a good amount of snow. Since I drive a VW Golf, and since the engineers decided that the best place for the rear wheels was as far back as they could go (they are right by the way), snow tended to gather on the back of the car in quite an impressive manner.

| it is only getting started here - by the time we stopped for coffee, the back end of the car had all but vanished in a wall of white - signal and brake lights, gone, indent for license plate, gone |
Here is what the roads looked like, more or less.
 |
| I will grant you, we have some boring roads - this is a problem when they are carved out of the wilderness in a grid - efficient yes, boring, oh yes - very very boring |
The primary purpose of this trip for me was to visit, and to take a few landscape photographs across the fields into the snow.
 |
| one landscapey shot(s) |
 |
| two landscapey shot(s) |
 |
| and a bonus, three landscapey shot(s)! |
Oak trees in particular come into their own against snow and a winter sky, don't they ? Snow encrusted Golfs, not so much...
