Layers and Ice
I received an Ansel Adams 2013 desk calendar for Christmas and have not been able to put it down since I opened it. It has increased my interest in monochrome images, so I thought I would try exploring this year’s winter in monochrome. This is the first image from the creek in the backyard.

Around the Farm
We always spend the Christmas holiday at my mother-in-law’s house. My wife’s family (she is one of six kids) all get together and we have a great time. I was able to sneak out on the day before Christmas Eve to have some fun with the camera. I generally go for the big landscapes but on this day I left the telephoto lens on the camera and focused on details.

From a Different Time
Where I live in Upstate NY I’m very close to the old Griffiss Air Force base. Actually, I’m only a few miles from the airstrip and I can still see large cargo planes performing practice take off and landings from my yard. It’s great to see a big C-5 fly over heard at a very low altitude while it makes multiple passes at the runway. The base was decommissioned in 1995 and is now home to a technology park, an aircraft refurbishment center and the Air Force’s Rome Air Labs.
There is another abandoned site not far from the air base that I have been passing on my way to and from work for the last 22 years. I believe it was an old army station but I have not really investigated its history. What this small site does have is a plethora of old buildings I would love to explore. I just haven’t gone as far as to jump the fence and fight my way through the overgrowth.
Yesterday afternoon the sun was fighting its way through the clouds so I decided to head over to this site and grab a few images with my telephoto lens. There is a group of white birch (I believe) growing up around a cement tower and I can also spot the top of another structure from one of the corn fields next to the fence. I’m thinking once the snow starts accumulating it would be a good time to revisit these buildings and maybe get a little adventurous.

Blue Morning
I had a few days of vacation to use or lose before the end of the year so I decided to have a mini vacation in the middle of the week. Yesterday didn’t work out for me because of the rain but today has been fantastic. This is a four image panorama of the morning clouds rolling in over the Mohawk Valley.
