a few from my Xmas trip

[notelliot]

Went to New Brunswick (in Canada - it's a Maritime province) for the holidays. The weather was mostly disappointing, and the landscape wasn't as interesting as I had remembered it to be in the winter, so I had to try pretty hard for some decent images. Flickr compression was nice to provide some weird tonal transitions - the only colour that should be there is the blue tint from split-toning the B&W conversions. Anyway here's what I came up with:

1. an abandoned farmhouse

2. view from the same house

3. pasture

4. same pasture - wind constantly blowing across the fields removes the snow from the center, and it drifts up along fences and tree lines.

5. more drifts

6.

7. view of 'Skiddatle Ridge' - way back, during the american civil war, draft dodgers came to parts of NB from New England and were dubbed 'skiddatlers'.

8. farmland

9. for the most part, I got around on snowshoes haha.

Several are a little dark, but I LOVE #5...the patterns/lighting of the snow, and the composition, make for a cool-spooky shot.

Where were you in New Brunswick? Is that the St. John River in the background of some shots?

I like several of these but I agree that they're a tad dark. Not much; just a hair. These make me glad I live in the sunbelt.
