Haags Alley, by Minor White. 1960. A black-and-white close-up photograph of the side of a wooden building. A large horizontal and a vertical cross beam dissect the square image, topped by a small dark window. Deep snow covers the ground and has stuck to the wooden frame building. It is a very peaceful image and some people may see religious overtones in it due to beams forming an elongated cross.
