Local photographer Rick Voelker from Wilkes-Barre recently showcased stunning winter imagery, capturing the serene beauty of the Bear Creek area on Christmas Eve. His photographs depict three doe leisurely strolling through the tranquil woods, blanketed in freshly fallen snow, as well as a scenic view of Little Bear Creek just before it flows beneath the White Haven Road Bridge.
These images highlight the peacefulness that winter can bring to this picturesque region. The early morning light accentuates the delicate snow that coats the landscape, creating a striking contrast with the dark trees and the gentle movements of the wildlife. Voelker’s work serves as a reminder of the natural beauty that can be found in local environments, especially during the holiday season.
The Citizens’ Voice encourages community members to contribute to the celebration of local photography. Those interested in submitting their own images are invited to email their photos to [email protected]. Submissions should include the photographer’s name, hometown, and details about the photo to enhance the context. High-resolution images are preferred to ensure quality for publication.
The initiative not only highlights the talent of local photographers but also fosters a sense of community appreciation for the natural surroundings. Voelker’s recent contributions exemplify the kind of stunning visuals that can emerge from the region, encouraging others to explore and capture the beauty of their local environments.
