Wednesday’s Photos
Igniting the Imagination
Winter will be around for a little while. As long as sunshine is illuminating the landscape, we do not mind. It is preferable to mild, but rainy, foggy weather. Today’s photos focus again on the bizarre shapes that the roots form in a snowy setting. I find it intriguing that snow can take on so many different tones, ranging from brilliant white to dark blue. I made the same observation with ice. To get that effect, the sky does not need to be blue. Enjoy!

In your 3rd shot, the driftwood looks almost animated, like it was gesturing at the photographer. (Saying “Woods up?”) Nice shots, Peter!

Gorgeous photos, Peter, and I agree that blue sky helps to bridge that time between winter and spring.

The white sparkles and the blue and grey streaks all the way across the upper part of the second picture make the view seem cosmic.

There’s no better artist than Nature. But that 2nd photo looks like some guy with his head buried in the snow.

Wonderful photos. I also prefer snow to rain, at least at this time of the year. And I never grow tired of the unusual shapes of trees and roots. They make great photo motifs.

I like the second picture. Not having snow in this region, it is nice to see snow pictures. The landscape is befitting for the postcard.

Your photos have captured three aspects of snow (and ice) that I really like: sparkles, fluffiness, and the clarity of melting and refreezing ice. The second photo’s my favorite, because of the contrast between those delicate sparkles and the solidity of the limb.

Thank you for your words of appreciation, Linda. I am always fascinated by the sparkles on the snow, which the eyes see, but the camera often does not.

Schnee hat tatsächlich viele Farbtöne.
Das Totholz macht einen traurigen Eindruck innerhalb der Schneemassen.
