Looking at Layers in the Landscape /  by Todd Henson

Looking at layers in a landscape, the wider view

I was walking through the bamboo grove at Blandy Experimental Farm, actually following the tracks of a rabbit in the snow. When I lifted my head I saw I was exiting the grove and that just beyond was a snow-covered field, one that appeared to have been plowed after whatever crop is grown there was harvested. And beyond that was a narrow line of trees with another field beyond, but with enough plant life to give it a tan color instead of the white snow of the foreground field. And beyond all this was another line of trees, then the mountains with a blue-cast from the sky, and finally the blue sky, itself.

Looking at layers in the landscape

All this captured my attention and I realized it was because of the layers of the scene. I like that each layer introduced another color or a new shade of an existing color, and how the layers were spread out over the distance. I can’t claim anything special about these photographs, but perhaps you’ll find the layers as interesting as I did.
