Snow B&W | Fence Gate in Montana This gate opens into fields of grass and wind-blown snow; just east of the Bridger Mountains. It’s a simple gate made with a post and some barbed wire. Without the snow, it would just blend into the background. To see the entire story with all seven images, go to Snow B&W | a 7 Image Story.
Snow B&W | Firehole Falls at Yellowstone NP There’s nothing like Yellowstone in the winter. It’s my favorite time to visit. The falls are located about half a mile upstream from the confluence of the Firehole and Gibbon Rivers at Madison Junction. With only a 40 foot drop, Firehole Falls aren’t real tall; just majestic, with unsurpassed rugged beauty. To see the entire story with all seven images, go to Snow B&W | a 7 Image Story.
Snow B&W | Snowy Illinois Creek Blackberry Creek winds though the towns and countryside in northern Illinois. My walkabouts sometimes encounter the creek. On this day, snow had fallen overnight and the weather was low; 200 foot ceiling and 1/2 mile visibility, in blowing snow. It’s not often, I capture a B&W nature image that I like in Illinois.

Snow B&W | a 7 Image Story Black & white images seem to go together with snow, quite often. As winter gives way to spring, it’s time to reflect one last time on winter snow. My black & white images tend to highlight contrasts. Snow provides contrast by its very nature. Whether it’s a winding stream, mountains, or a fence post, snow provides contrast for most shapes against it. And, no matter where you live in the USA, snow is not too far away in the winter. Sometimes, B&W images bring out the true nature of a place. For instance, dawn at Oxbow Bend, the most photographed landscape in the country. is always an emotional experience.
Each image will be posted individually this week with a bit more narrative under category Snow B&W.
