Rhapsody in Blue

An experiment with light and shadows on new fallen snow. Since my usual favorite subject matter has gone asleep for the winter, I have been looking at such things as snow and the low position of the sun in a whole different way. As a result, a new world has been unlocked for me.

A recording of the original version of "Rhapsody in Blue" as played by George Gershwin can be heard on this YouTube video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1U40xBSz6Dc

Thank you for your kind, encouraging comments and faves, friends! Your words are greatly appreciated :-)

Wow Val, this is wonderful. (You could even add a musical link and add it to "Soundtrack to Life" group.) It would fit in perfectly there.)

Your photos are really inspiring and I applaud you for making the most of such a yet another extremely snowy winter in your part of the world.

Thanks you so much for your very kind words, Karen! I need to figure out how to add soundtracks to photos. "Rhapsody in Blue" is my favorite Gershwin melody.
