Rural landscapes: as the snow melts

PATTERNS OF SPRING SNOW, NEAR AIRDRIE, ALBERTA

This just shouts SPRING, doesn’t it? There’s a surprising amount of colour and contrast in this scene on the Canadian prairies, aided by the slanting afternoon sun. It took a bit of work to position the snow and the old building correctly in relation to each other and to the overall composition. I think I pulled it off. Agree?

The positioning is spot-on Frank. The image speaks of Spring with that bold blue sky and the snow slowly retreating.
