Under Cover
by Helen Betts

Ankara, Turkey

Nothing seemed to inspire me for this challenge, but I had something like this in mind if we were to get a lot of snow, and this morning my wish came true -- we're really snowed in. My husband was a good sport and accompanied me to our garden with an umbrella and my camera bag while I tried to take some pictures, kneeling in the snow with very little light and worried about ruining my cameras in the process. Even getting up to the garden was hazardous, as our stairs are dangerous at best in good weather (falling apart as they are, whole steps missing) but downright treacherous in the snow when you have no idea what you're stepping on, or not: http://www.pbase.com/helenpb/image/55969556

Really a nice shot Helen. I like the color in those rocks, enhanced by the white snow covering. Your composition is great, as usual. Thanks for the link to the Winter 2006 image too, I enjoyed seeing that.

Nice shot - I like the diagonal composition and the color and sharp detail in the rocks!

Nice image, Helen. The snow looks bright and beautiful and the rocks are so detailed!! Sure looks worth the treacherous trip to the garden ;-))
