The Old North Bridge was deserted when I stopped in after dropping Maya off at school this morning. I fought my way through waist high snow to position myself for this photo. Aesthetically speaking it is not particularly strong but as a study in shadows, it is quite interesting indeed (to photographers, at least). See if you can determine where the sun is situated (answer at the end of this post). Last night, high winds proved to be the last straw in bringing down the gutter on the back side of our house. One more spring project to add to a long list of repairs that will be needed to recover from this winter’s extreme snowfall (note the 4 foot high bank which still resides on our deck).

~The sun is coming from behind the photographer whose shadow can be seen on one of the bridge supports. The remaining shadows are created by trees and not by the bridge as might first appear to be the case~
