This picture was taken just after a snowfall on a Sunday morning. I got up before dawn and headed over to an area that has a small pond as I wanted to capture the snow geese and ducks that would be in or near the pond. But as I headed on the road to the pond I saw before me this wonderful street scene. It evokes the simple quiet and beauty one can find just after a snowfall.
