Icy Winter

December 17th, 2007 by Benji Mast

I think most of you know but our family has moved into a rural community in Partridge, KS or Hutchinson. Hutchinson is the largest town within 30 min. of Partridge. Visit Miriam to get a report on the weather in Hutchinson, KS area.

    I approve. Excellent work. The last two are by far my favorites.

    Much, much ice. The last two pictures are great.

    LG: In Partridge. Town is one of the few places trees exist in such density.

    #5 and #7 are beautiful. A pretty little welcome for your family.

    I like 1 and 5. I hope this doesn’t destroy too many trees, which I would guess aren’t too plentiful in KS.

    TREES TREES TREES!!! Why all the fuss about our trees, or lack of them. Maybe just getting used to it would be a great idea! *smiles and thinks to self, “They’ll learn to like our wide open space someday”*

    How can something be so pretty be so devastating? You did a good job. — Did you know that the Rural Messenger is having a Ice Storm Photo Contest? Submit you photos to contact@ruralmessenger.com

    Wow! So much ice. Puts me in rememberance of 3 years ago Christmas. Some people were out of power for 11 days! Stepping outside the house I would hear sounds like a .22 being shot. Trees cracking up. I like the last 2 the best. I’m trying to decide bewteen the first last and the last last. =) I like the whole light/shadow scheme in the first one. But something feels off. I don’t know if it’s too much sky or what. I love the sky but… I really really like the feel of it though! I would love to see it in b&w. I wonder what that would do for the mood? Or maybe infrared…
    The last last, I really really like that one too! I just wish I could see the whole tree. It feels a little crowded to me. Great job capturing the icyness of it all! Hope ya’ll had a blessed Christmas!
