Fly Away
Blowing snow and mist on a high ridge in the Jefferson wilderness earlier this year.

Thanks for commenting.

Wonderful depth and atmosphere here Marc. You have definitely captured the feeling of the wind and blowing cold.

Do you own a fish tank? Because it looks like you took a big old chunk of corral, froze it and plopped it down in the snow. Very surreal.
Just for giggles, did you throw away any extra space at the bottom of the frame? I can't get out of my mind that a nice patch of clean, unbroken snow below the bushes might have looked good if it happened to be there. Doesn't look like there was enough on the ground though.

Beautiful and surreal high key image, Marc. I love stuff like this.
Looks like you were in your element! :smile:

I like this shot... cold, lonely, isolated and yet beyond beautiful. Great mix !!

Rugged, cold and heavenly-- all at the same time!

It's sweet! It's slightly different from many of your others Marc, there's less contrast, less drama. It's not a knock, not at all, it an excellent departure. It's somewhat reminiscent of the daguerreotypes from early landscape photograghers.
