I recently noted how the onset of a new season can dramatically change the appearance of a landscape. In that particular case, I made a winter return to a scene which I had already captured in its Autumnal prime.
Having just returned from the spectacular Italian Alps and Dolomites over Easter, I was very fortunate to witness an ‘instant’ seasonal change when a storm dropped an absolutely pristine blanket of snow during the cover of night...
There’s nothing better than trampling over fresh snow so it was a joy to mess around during the day (note: snowball fights and cameras really don’t mix) and then to capture a few classic scenes during the most favourable times of sunrise and sunset.
Most European ski resorts have been very happy with the snowfall this year so it may take some time before the new bloom of Spring. I think I may have been pushing my luck by asking for 3 seasons in a week so a little bit of patience may now be deservedly called for!
