This image was taken from the driver’s seat as I drove through Shenandoah County, Virginia. Barely visible at center, a solitary snow covered cow huddles by her barn in the only patch of sunlight. The impression testifies to the enduring hardiness of those who call the Shenandoah their home.

Canon EOS-6D, Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM lens (at 57mm), 1/200s at f/7, ISO 100; automatic white balance. Post processing included contrast, lightness and a slight vignette.
