I fondly remember the journey into Watridge as I experienced for the first time the beauty and softness of winter light, even at what traditionally can be some of the harshest times for light. Excited by this realization, I kept a keen eye open for any intimate moments that nature might provide. As I was crossing Watridge creek, I looked to my left. I immediately fell in love with the light cascading on the exciting ice and snow sculptures along the creek. I quickly set up my shot and captured a few different takes on this moment which was kind enough to stick around. The story was brought to life when it was printed on paper. Outside of posting Peak Light on social media, the image sat in one of my many external drives until I decided to put an exhibit together in 2020. People in the exhibition and even today need help figuring out what it is and where it was taken. I have heard it snow on a roof, snow on a barbeque, etc. I have had to everyone to date that is a sculpture created by nature in a creek.
