This image was taken in the Broadmeadow Brook Santuary in Worcester Massachusetts. It is one of the Audobon Society's properties and is approximately 80 acres of land in the heart of Worcester that most people don't know exists. It's a wonderful place to hike and relax and sometimes photograph. This photograph won best in show for the Winter season in their annual photography contest for 2006. It shows how creative one can be with B&W photography because what looks like ice and snow is really just pollen floating on the water. This image was actually taken in late summer when all the pollen is in the air and on the water.
