Day 035 - Snow Boats

Portsmouth, NH view map

I went trudging through the snow this morning in Prescott Park in Portsmouth. This is an area that is not well known as a winter excursion hotspot. I didn't expect to encounter deep snow and sure enough, I encountered a lot of it. There was actually about a foot or more of snow on the wooden piers that extend out into the bay (where the water temperature is above freezing). I was able to capture these working boats in the marina on Pierce Island from one of the piers at the park. I kind of wish there was a little (or a lot) more snow to give this more of a wintery feel. The falling flakes aren't that apparent.

I need to look around for deals on snowshoes, this far into the winter season, I might get lucky and find a pair that fits me "priced to sell". They would have helped this morning.

Technically this is a quad tone as I added a highlight tone and a shadow tone (subtle).
