52 on Friday: Week 2 | Baltimore, MD Photographer
Posted on January 13, 2012
Our theme for this week’s Project 52 shot is “Landscape.” And if you’ve ever been to the mid-Atlantic states in January you know there isn’t much to look at (unless it happened to have snowed recently!). I was really stumped. Everything around here is BROWN right now. Dull, uninteresting, monochromatic brown. So I put off this assignment until the very last minute. Literally, as the sun was setting on Thursday night I wandered outside to try and find some beauty. What I saw and realized I loved about our new neighborhood is that the landscaping is mature in every yard… and very pretty to look at. In particular is this ivy that grows on so many of the trees here. So yes, there can be beauty found in a cold and dreary landscape. You just have to look for it.
