I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape - the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn't show. ~Andrew Wyeth

I absolutely love these dear. I cannot thank you enough for the eye you have.
I do know one thing tho'. My hands would have frozen taking them.

@Mission: thank you! and my hands froze and froze and froze until My Cartoonist dragged me back inside. the reason that some of the photos looks little hazy or foggy was because the snow was whipping through all the cracks and the skylights in every picture.

I love the Wyeth quote, I live near "Wyeth Country" in Pa. Looks like you were in my area, the first picture is particularly astounding. Your use of light and as you note structure takes the ordinary into the beyond.

excellent shots. the first one, until i looked at the next two, looked like you were shooting *down* into a room, the broken concrete being the floor, the light coming through an opening like a door. fascinating that the mind sees what it tells the eye. love the wyeth quote; i'm a winter freak, too.

feel the bone structure of the landscape~
Amazing to think this was a jail cell...facinating texture in your pictures. That pock-marked snowdrift on the cot in the last one has made me very very cold now.
