One winter day, my friend Bill and I decided to drive up to Max Patch, a former pasture now maintained as a
bald by the Forest Service, so see if there was any snow. It was a clear, sparkling day, with a trace of snow in
Asheville, and we were hopeful. The dirt roads that lead up the mountain were slick with hard-packed snow,
and when we arrived, we saw people sledding down the open slopes. The wet snow had stuck to the tufts of
straw left from the last mowing, as well as to the old dead tree on the hillside. Bill went off to shoot the sledders,
and I worked my way around the tree, trying different lenses and angles until I saw the possibility of a majestic
snow-blasted snag against a dark sky. I put on my widest lens, knelt in the snow behind the low tripod, and
used a #25 red filter to darken the sky. I think it works pretty well. In the background, along the ridge, you can
see a couple of the posts that mark the Appalachian Trail.
