“I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. Something waits beneath it; the whole story doesn’t show.”

This quote by Andrew Wyeth best explains the photos in the series of snow in rural Ada. You can feel the bone structure of the landscape.

You can also see things in the landscape – like the trees in the background and the shadows cast on the snow – that you don’t see otherwise.

These photos were taken by Icon viewer Deborah East-Blevins. These scenes are from County Road 10 in rural Ada.
