The Price of Art

One of my favourite Johnny Clegg songs is "Cruel, Crazy, Beautiful World", an upbeat tune whose chorus goes, "Its your world so live in it."

Recently, I decided to take this advice and today that meant going out to take some photographs at one of the local conservation areas.

I had been there numerous times in the spring, summer, and fall, so I had a fairly good idea of what sort of shots I could get. Unfortunately, I had never been there in the winter, especially when the road was covered with snow. As you can see, I ran out of road and stranded myself for a while until the tow truck came.

An hour later, I was on my way home, embarrassed but all right. The car was undamaged, and I had several nice photographs.
