 Jean-Jacques, thanks for 10+ years of inspiration.

C&O Canal Towpath near Fletcher's Boathouse. The melting ice on the canal is the last sign of winter.

Some artifacts are noticeable in the sky but overall I'm pretty happy with it. Probably would have been better to shoot at a lower ISO.

I like J-J's word, "brutal."

Good and aptly brutal landscape

Handsome tonal poem. I like the utter white and black wedges jutting in from the sides and the highly detailed sky and rutted, puddled road from above and below. It's pleasingly asymmetrical.

though it can seem a long way off, just travel down the road a bit more.

Not sure this is in his style but it's a beauty of a photo and I'll just believe that you were inspired by him.

I love what can be found in a winter road - a time of year when it can actually compete with the drama of the sky. Good composition of them both. Beautiful tonality and perspective.
