Snow has outlined the steps and wall. The air is cold and quiet. The icy light is fading. There seems to be no tangible activity to prompt the exposure. The faintest of echo’s inhabit this uncanny print. [1] This is one of those renderings of a subject that make one feel that no one else ought to touch it in that aspect or condition; it is done once and for all. Frederick Evans
