better left unsaid

As you can see, it was a cold week­end when I took this. I had to be the first out of the cabin in the morn­ing because I didn’t want the pris­tine snow stepped all over by my cab­in­mates. I was hop­ing for some shots that would con­vey the cold and empti­ness of a frozen north­ern lake.

As I walked down the path from the cabin to the lake, this came into view. In the sum­mer, those boards go between the shore and the dock that stretches out into the lake. In the win­ter, when the dock is out, the boards help you get from the shore and onto the frozen lake. The way the light hit the boards and the blue of the snow says noth­ing but lone­li­ness and cold.
