The final leg home


Coming over the last passes in Oregon we hit snow, a lot of snow. It was kind of scary, but the trees were beautiful. I photographed these through the window as we drove past. They were a sort of dull blue color, which didn't reflect my impression of the scene at all, so I desaturated and overexposed the images, creating a black and white high-key effect, more in line with my memories of the snowy beauty outside the car (as opposed to the tension and terror inside my head!). ©Carol Leigh
