Blizzard Sunset
This was taken on a late afternoon when I’d just escaped the office following a particularly fraught encounter with an unpleasant person. Ahh…wonderful the way photography can be an escape sometimes! I had gone for a drive just to clear my head and was driving along a country road on this windy, cold day when there was a sudden blizzard. It was severe enough there were whiteout conditions but the amazing thing about it was the way it was so isolated. I drove out of it within about two minutes. When I doubled back along a parallel road I drove right back into the blizzard again and all of a sudden the sun shone through a break in the clouds. It was quite an extraordinary sight.
I stopped the car to see if I could get a picture of it and was almost blinded by the 60 km. per hour winds blowing snow into my eyes….and worse, the camera! :-)
