Pat Considine – Same Location, Different Weather
After viewing Martin’s image in this week’s posting, Pat Considine thought he noticed some resemblance to one he had taken last year. He located the shot and the similarity was obvious. “It’s interesting how some rocks, bushes and mountains call out to be photographed. This image was taken about a half mile from the parking lot on Mt Rogers last January. I believe it’s the same rock and bush that are in Martin’s image”, Pat says.
It’s certainly winter but it doesn’t appear as cold as in Martin’s image – or as bleak. Maybe the blue sky makes the difference.

Patrick Considine - Mt Rogers from Appalachian Trail
It’s a very scenic and accessible location with great views. I really like the textures and subtle shades in this photo, from the stark white snow, to the various shades of grays in the trees, and then the bright blue sky. The hoarfrost on the nearer trees really gives those objects body and definition, because without it the bare limbs would be lost against the background. Great shot Pat.
