Duncan Rawlinson photographed this view from behind the wheel as the first snow of the year dusted the highway near the 1000 Islands in Ontario, Canada. The roadway curves ahead between snow-laden evergreens and bare deciduous trees, their branches still holding traces of autumn brown. Wet pavement and guardrails mark the transition into winter. The dashboard and rearview mirror frame the scene, anchoring the viewer in the driver’s seat. Overcast skies soften the light across the forested corridor. This image documents the early arrival of winter on a rural stretch of Ontario road.
