And thanks to Simon and Garfunkel for that title.
This is another shot from last Saturday with Stan at Paint Mines Park after the blizzard. Such great light at twilight, and so cold my breath was frosting up the back of the camera and ballhead on the tripod. Good times, good times.
On the way out, Stan and I sat down on one of the benches along the trail and just watched the light fade, and listened to the "Sounds of Silence" from the prairie. No wind, not a sound, just complete silence. At once eerie and yet strangely comforting.
Thanks for the comments on my last post and for your critique on this one,
Morris

Love the beautiful color here. The wind-swept slope show a crisp and cold mood, yet there's a soft warmth to the broad landscape.
Hey, I think you got your songs mixed up.... "Silent Shroud of Snow" is from "I am a Rock."
"And a rock feels no pain;
And an Island never cries."
Beautiful winter image.

Yes, Lon, I knew they were from two different songs, but thanks for clearing it up for the "younger" viewers.
I mean how many times did I and "Big Al" Canafax listen to those albums on 8 tracks!
Very nice comp and capture..
And it appears freshly fallen...
(sorry couldn't resist)
And, no, it's fine, Tom. Jump right in there. I would have put all of that into the title, but the character restrictions kept me from doing it. And, man, was it ever freshly fallen! Thanks.
Gary.
i like the simplicity here

Hey, We've all come to look for America, and images like this, and Paul Simon's lyrics are vivid reminders that we have found it. (Turning the TV off tonight to listen to S&G. Thanks for that reminder, too.)
