Overnight on Thursday, an inch or two of snow fell… just enough to add some photographic interest to the ground. Around mid-day yesterday (Friday) the overcast looked like it might break up so I headed out to photograph the landscape.
The ultimate goal was “my spot” (e.g. see the first image here) for photographing Mount Monadnock. On the way there I stopped at a number of roadside wetlands. As I got to “my spot”, the clouds to the west were beginning to break up but Monadnock was hidden in the clouds and it did not seem like it would be appearing any time soon. I did not stay long. This was probably a wise decision as the cloud cover did not really start to break up until almost sunset.
Instead, I spent some time exploring the back roads of Roxbury and discovered a high spot near Otter Brook Lake with great views to the west (the last three images were taken here). I am quite sure that I will be revisiting this spot.

Great shots. I love the perspectives in B&W. Won’t be seeing this much longer where we are going. I will look forward to your early spring “emergin” photos
Be Well

I agree great in B&W. I especially like #5 and #7. I would either open up those dark foregrounds or crop them out as they are a huge dark distraction at present. You really need to get NIK Silver Efex. I’ll send you those tweaks via email. I finally get a chance to tweak one of yours after all of these years at HDP Image Study 🙂
