This photo was taken at Edith Wharton's: The Mount in Lenox MA. The silence in the composition is deafening! It takes me to a quiet place that only cold winter evening walks can silently speak to. I contemplated removing the people in the photo but realized it would not tell the "whole story" of moments shared in silence. The strong leading lines created by the path, the perfectly manicured tree line and the gradation of light from light into darkness, guides the viewer to the obscure. Enjoy the Quietude!
