Winter where I live is long and usually cold with many hours of darkness. At the same time it is very beautiful. I have taken numerous pictures of the white mountains against the blue sky, but I have been itching to get out on a snowy day when the mountains can't be seen because of the low cloud, and I can explore the subtle colours.
I finally got our with my camera a few days ago. The temperature was warm (-8 celsius, +17 farenheit), and I spent a few hours taking pictures.
There was so much beauty everywhere I looked.
Even a branch with some fall leaves that never left the tree.
A bit of light came through the clouds in some areas.
and I loved the reddish browns of the willow bushes against the blues of the mountainside trees
the naked branches of winter trees always appeals to me
The clouds lifted a bit to show the small rounded mountains
and they were beautiful
no matter the angle that I looked at them. I am glad I got out to explore the other day, as today I am staying warm indoors, as it is -40 degrees outside (-40 celsius is also -40 farenheit - the meeting point of the two scales)
Thanks for sharing these beautiful views from your corner of the world. Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteI now know from where your color palette comes from. Just beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteBrrrrrrrrr! Lovely pictures, although I'm not sure if it's worth braving those temperatures!
ReplyDeleteI cant imagine -40 in any scale, language or world. One brave woman!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh it's definitely worth getting out, come rain snow or shine if these wonderful scenes are what you see & those lovely photos are what you take. But yes, 40 in anything is quite unbelievable!
ReplyDeleteYou are a truly adventuresome woman...finding inspiration everywhere. I definitely fell in love with these photos...especially the red willow in context of other colors...and the definitely layered photo....like a layered pudding in a crystal bowl...texture and color....
