Ice Princess

A few years ago I decided to go out shooting...in a blizzard. I eventually ended up on the unplowed, dirt, backroads in Northeastern Ohio's "Amish Country." Luckily I had a 4-wheel drive and the only problem I had was keeping my hands warm. I captured a few good landscape shots and was about to head home when I crested a small hill on the road and spotted a couple of Amish work horses in the field. I felt terrible that they had to endure the fierce wind, heavy snow, and ice in the open field with no shelter. I got out of my SUV, stumbled through the deep snow, while adjusting my camera settings for closeup shots of the horses. As soon as I took this photo, the horse turned and ran to the far side of the pasture.
