Wayfarers Journey "Southern Snowscapes"

Snow in the extreme South is rare but a heavy snow event is even more rare. I spent the day in Conecuh County Alabama and the City of Evergreen Alabama to witness this event. I roamed the back roads looking for those shots that snow can to bring to life. while in the field I recorded the highest and second highest snowfall amounts of the event! (6 & 7 inches) I felt very blessed to have seen God's artistic beauty. I had waited 10 years to see really good snowfall and the wait was worth it.

I love the lake shots, the ones with piers are my favorite of all. I love the horses in the distance shot. I'm likin' the hay bale shot as well. That's awesome! They are all well done!!

Love your snow pictures, glad you documented the unusual event! Especially like the red mud ruts in the white snow, the train tracks. Isn't it awesome how a blanket of snow makes everything beautiful and peaceful. Stay warm!
