Photos: Winter wonderland in Genesee County

By Howard B. Owens

The other day in looking at this picture of the Old Courthouse, I realized instead of trying to photograph the courthouse where it is just the building and not the trees -- an impossible task -- I need to work the trees appropriately into the picture. With all the snow on the branches, I thought today would be a good time to give that a try. After trying out nearly a dozen angles, this is what I settled on. About 10 minutes before snapping this picture, Mary Pat Hancock walked into the building, which gave me the idea of waiting until I could get a person walking up the stairs to add a little extra interest.

Below is a picture of a landscape you've seen before -- off Lewiston Road heading toward Oakfield. And there are more pictures after the jump.

Howard, I just want to let you know your photos are magnificent! I have wanted to compliment you many times, and keep forgetting to, but you capture the essence of each scene perfectly! Your latest, of the courthouse, is beautiful! Also, love the barns that seem to pop up almost daily! Keep up the good work!
