The other night was particularly miserable. As the dog and I walked past the neighborbood convenience store, the owner's SUV was the only vehicle in the snow-tracked parking lot. It was idling in that quintessentially Canadian pre-drive warm-up/clean-up ritual.
The headlights lit up the ground by the sidewalk, their low-angled shafts of light throwing off otherworldly-looking shadows that caught my eye.
While Calli stuck her nose deep into a snowbank and sniffed/snored loudly, I crouched down, took my phone out, composed quickly before my fingers froze, and snapped a single frame.
I'm not sure if this is a snowscape, a moonscape, or a winter-weary combination of the two. And I'm not sure definitions matter here. Point is, I liked what I saw, and this is the result.
It's kind of why I got into photography in the first place. And kind of why I rather enjoy this time of year despite the inconvenience of it all.
