This gallery contains my photographs of winter scenes from the Washington DC area, in the Blue Ridge Mountains and Virginia piedmont, and a few from some farther away spots as well.

The patterns of light and shadow on snow, bare branches, and those leaden gray skies that seem too frequent during the winter can make some wonderful black and white images. I have included a few black and whites in these galleries, and you can read more about how or why I did the conversions here.
