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.”
Wonderful photos and love the quote from Wyeth. I get what he is talking about. I love the high deserts where the struggle in life can seem like winter. Because of those struggles there is seriousness, contemplation.
Thank you. I look for opportunities to share that quote because I love it so much. If summer is a wild exuberance, then winter is a quiet and thoughtful understatement. To study Wyeth’s work one sees how clearly he understood the season. So glad it resonates and the bones of the desert are a nice perspective as well.
Thanks, Mare. It was just stunning. And peaceful. I was completely alone up there for the hour I spent. You can really feel a place if you just pay attention ..

Wondrous photos, my friend.
Thank you ! Such an invigorating day and the silence of it left me breathless. Andrew Wyeth surely got it right.
Oh… and a KILLER selfie…*
Hahaha … I was freezing ! The wind was like ice and the snow was swirling. Quite exhilirating ! *
W O W !
I don’t think Wyeth could have illustrated his quote as well as you have!
