Snow started later than expected in Lewes today and it took a while to cover surfaces enough to create the kind of winter scene I hoped to photograph. I drove around Lewes late afternoon and just couldn't find a scene or subject that made me want to stop and set up my camera. This shack on the bank of the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal in Lewes is always an interesting subject with the clever carpentry that gives the illusion of a deck and an open door on its flat front. Kevin Fleming and I shot this in a snow storm a couple of years ago so I returned to it today. The drift at the bottom left of the shack adds to the 3 dimensional look of the illusion.
