The sound of snow

by Dorin Bofan

Gallery: LandscapePosted December 30, 2010151 views15 comments
Hi all!
I decided to end this year in a more quite and reclusive manner, so I went by myself to an area close to where I live to be among the trees, to listen the snow falling, to see the sun peeking through the clouds, to enjoy nature basically and the simple things. I could think about the mistakes I've done, about the hard times, but also about the many great times spent in nature or with the loved ones, times to be remembered forever.
I wish all NPNers a better 2011!

PS: Thank you, Guy Tal, for the inspiration on this one.

I like this a lot Dorin. A lovely comp, and the falling snow creates wonderful texture.

Dorin, This is just wonderful. I just love looking at this. Almost looks like it could be a pencil sketch. Great job photographing this. I always have wanted to get something like this, but they have never looked this good. Well done! Have a great new year.

Splendid, Dorin. Finally you got the snow shot that didn't work with the little snow at the Matterhorn ;)
I wish you all the best for 2011 and hope that we will meet again.

Good memories are even better than pictures, Dorin. Hope your 2011 if filled with both.
