We were wanting to capture the town with a fresh snow. We were pleasantly surprised by the long shadows of the late afternoon sun. Once printed and hanging on our dining room wall, we noticed the trees along the river, the main road through town, and the railroad tracks formed a heart. We are known as the City of Shade and Water so it seemed very fitting. The black and white format simplified the image and allowed the shadows and sun to be the main emphasis.
