I have to be honest... I really wanted snow on the ground for some of my Nubble Lighthouse photographs. Sometime with photography (and life) you just have to use what is available and make it shine. To me the holidays happen with or without snow. Christmas happens regardless of any snow on the ground. Living in Massachusetts my whole life, I've come to the realization that snow is not always that helpful or interesting. Most of the time it derails things that are scheduled and causes other issues. It can be a lot of extra work too, clearing it on your property, driving in it, etc.
Well back to Cape Neddick Light in York, Maine... The blue sky, flowing water, and details in the slabs of rock were beautiful. Sure, snow would have changed the scene for better or worse... but it sure would have been hard to scale and navigate the coastal rocks and slabs. Before I had a chance to know what was happening I would have been slipping into the water, not helpful at all :(
You have to take what you can get and appreciate it; enjoy the beauty in front of you. A moment of silence and contemplation is something that is very rare in this world. The same goes for photography. You never get a second chance for that same scene. You have to capture it in that moment before it disappears forever.
Happy Holidays to all. Merry Christmas. Happy New Year! Hope it is a good one :)
