Cold

Frosty Car Windscreen

Frosty Car Windscreen

How do you photograph cold? I guess it’s easy enough if you live in the mountains with lots of snow and ice. But what if it’s dry out? That makes it considerably harder, I think. The ground doesn’t look all that different. The trees and bushes are as bare and lifeless looking as they were when it was considerably warmer. But this morning my outdoor thermometer read 1.3°F (-17°C). That’s cold. Even if the reading is slightly off because the sensor is too close to the house (which would mean it was actually colder than that), it’s close enough to know that you want to do more than just roll your sleeves down. Yes, I admit it, I put on a jacket before going out. This photo was taken in my car while waiting at a traffic light. I like the network of little lines that have formed on the glass.
