Happy Holidays and best wishes for 2015.

The blue light at the top of the ridge is part of the ski infrastructure.

Very neat shot and it made a perfect holiday greeting card too, Mark. I assume that is a star dead center on the lower mountain horizon. The burst makes a really nice visual touch for this time of year greeting card. Looks like a wonderful place to visit most anytime.
Happy holiday to you and your family Mark, thanks for the image reviews with comments, ideas, and ramrodding the WC gallery too.

The Christmas feel is alive and well in this scene, all that's missing are the reindeer pulling a sled across the sky.
Hoping you and Andrea have a great holiday,

Excellent Christmas card material/subject matter Mark, very nice.
Especially interesting elements that make the sum much greater than its individual parts

Wish I could say it was mine, Merry Christmas to you & your family

Perfect for the occasion Mark. I was wondering about the blue star, as it shows a visible disk - then saw your explanation. Best wishes to you too!!
