The Nor’-easter that’s giving us yet another late winter snow here in central Massachusetts provided me with the inspiration to find an image that didn’t have snow in it. Time to “Think Spring!”

December has arrived with a few foggy mornings, which got me to digging through the catalog for an image that captured that kind of feel you get when snow and fog come together. I found this 2007 image of Elizabeth Brook in Stow that has never been published before (although a similar one earlier in the series has been part of an exhibit on the Assabet River).

Technical: Canon 40D, 24-70mm f/2.8L at f/11, 1/125 second at ISO 200. Processed with Lightroom 4, mostly contrast enhancements, e.g., a 3/4 stop graduated ND filter was applied to the upper right quadrant, a touch of negative clarity (-19) restored the atmospheric effect that the contrast tweaks took away.
Nothing says small town ‘merica like a parade and right on the heels of Saturday’s Sip and Stroll event on Saturday night was Sunday afternoon’s 46th Annual Christmas Parade down Main Street in Maynard. For a few minute it looked like I’d have the perfect light for the second half of the parade, but the clouds stayed — which was almost as good (the best light is when the 4pm winter sun floods down Main Street on the parade’s return route… just magic).
