2/5/2011: Great Hill from Parson’s Beach, Kennebunk
A break from the unrelenting diet of birds, birds, birds of the past two weeks, and a return to my current reality…snowy, snowy Maine. We now have, after another foot fell on Wednesday, and taking into account settling and melting (sublimation actually, since the snow is going directly from ice to vapor without ever being water) about 3 and a half feet of snow standing in our front yard. What you see here is a healthy stand of beach rose. The tallest of those plants tops five feet. This is a perspective shot taken at moderate telephoto. Great Hill with its houses is about an eighth of a mile behind the dune and snow buried rosehips in the foreground, on the far side of the Mousam River.
Canon SX20IS at about 70mm equivalent field of view, f4.5 @ 1/1250th @ ISO 80. Snow Mode.
Processed in Lightroom for intensity and clarity.
Beautiful landscape!

This is so beautiful, and well composed. I love the white snow against the blue sky. We finally have blue sky today, so I will be taking a walk around the neighborhood to take pics of our snow.
it looks very nice.
