A serene scene at Belmont Plateau.

Location: Belmont Plateau, Fairmount Park
The Story: In the midst of drunken, costumed Cyclocrossers traversing the slippery trails at Belmont Plateau in Fairmount Park comes this serene scene — children riding sleds and families enjoying the generous snowfall. For me, as a photographer, there’s an arresting quality to snow in Philadelphia: The streets become quieter and the light bounces off the ground in different ways.
