Embracing the Stillness of Mid-Winter Landscapes

Mid-winter light can be many things.

It can be bright and beautiful, lighting up the sky at sunrise or sunset with an array of vibrant colours.

It can be soft and diffused or even dull and bleak.

But Mid-Winter light is sometimes none of these things. It is often just there, low in the sky and subdued, as if it is waiting for something to occur.

It is at these times that we can embrace the stillness, accept the light as it is, and be content to photograph the quiet landscape.

Here are some images I created during mid-winter this year.

The last four images were taken with my phone camera - it was the camera I had with me.

Although winter doesn't occur at the same time for everyone, I hope you have the chance to appreciate the beauty of winter light whenever and wherever you experience it.
