Description

Winter scene in the rural Prairies and Lakes region of Texas, USA. This square-format landscape features two scraggly bare trees along a country road. Beyond the trees one sees a blue lake or pond (called a “tank” in Texas). The pond is as blue as the cloudless sky above.

A barbed-wire and wood fence are shown, with some small buildings in the distance. The full horizon depicts the flatness of the barren brown land, where this homestead touches the sky.

One sees many wildflower images of Texas in springtime. But I wanted to show the beauty of winter here, captured off the beaten track in the type of wild and rugged countryside encountered by the pioneers. The strong pristine blues of the sky and pond create a stunning landscape scene in this square-format image. Also available in black-and-white. In that image, the lake seems to disappear, throwing more visual emphasis to the shape of the trees.
