“A Winter View of Morning”

Photographer: Noah Goetsch Berch, 17 years old
Camera: PowerShot SD770 IS

“This shot was taken early in the morning. I was on my daily routine of Morning Watch, I walk up a trail, pick myself a comfortable spot to sit, collect myself, and prepare myself for day. It was a Monday, the evening before it started to snow in the Pisgah Forest, NC. At my boarding school, all of the students woke up the next morning and we were all excited about the view of snow. It was beautiful. It looked like we were in a “winter wonderland”. Snow was everywhere. Living in Atlanta, Ga, I rarely get to see snow, so when I saw the snow that morning, I had to capture that moment. The weather that day was cold, calm, and quiet. The clouds were hovering the mountains and the air was thick.
