Nothing captures the starkness of winter like the sight of naked trees, stripped of all apparent life, against the cold background of a gray sky.
This scene was captured as I left work this day, at the Capital Gateway complex in Bethesda, Maryland.
Every summer I remember this photo taken at New York City’s Central Park. Yes, this area is called Literary Walk because of the monuments to literature's great names like William Shakespeare and Robert Burns, bu it is literary to me because of the picturesque canopy of trees and benches that invite you to stop, sit and reflect, either with a book or a writing pad in hand, or just with an eye on the park’s many visitors.
Literary Walk is actually part of Central Park’s mall, a green promenade that stretches from this more southern end of the park north to the Bethesda Fountain. This was taken several years ago, but remains one of my favorite photos.
