Right after the snowfall it is like driving through fairyland.
Once you get off the main roads, though, it's a tilted, icy world. Good thing we have a four-wheel drive vehicle. Rendering this picture in black and white didn't really change the quality of the shot much, a testimony to just how bleak the landscape is back here in the coal region.
And only occasionally do you see a flash of color.
And then it's back to the same old, same old.
