Description
A hard winter journey is nearing its end... cresting the rise, you can see the old house between the bare trees, just across the field and down the hill... not far now.....
Looking at this shot captured in January at Sky Meadows State Park (Paris, Virginia), it occurred to me how timeless the view is, with the rural fields and forested hills, and buildings only dotting the landscape here and there. The 19th century Mt. Bleak house is nestled down in the Crooked Run Valley, just peeking through the trees on the hillside. I could imagine a weary traveler long ago, coming over the rise and, finally, having home in sight. I thought a slightly distressed grayscale rendering gave the image an evocative and very appropriate vintage look.
