The Story

Here is dry yellow grass leftover from summer being wind-blown into a snowbank. It stood head high along a country road on top of a high mountain. Despite the sunlight and fair-weather blue sky shown here, the strong, freezing, below-zero wind chill was about to take your head off if you put it above the edge of this roadside bank!

It was rather memorable…a tough, frigid shot to take while waiting for the wind to die down slightly enough to shoot, and not soon forgotten.

Location: rural Cambria County, Pennsylvania.
