Frosted Conifer Branch

Frosted Conifer Branch

All the recent news of snowy weather leaves me looking for winter pictures in the archive. Here's an image taken at Bryce Canyon last February on a particularly cold, still morning. A couple of lone conifers sitting on the edge of a large snowfield were completely covered in large ice crystals which looked spectacular in front of a clear, blue sky.

In case anyone is wondering, this picture is straight out of the camera with no processing other than some sharpening.

    Simply beautiful, Dave. I love how jagged the frost appears to be on the conifer.

    And you are certainly correct – it works wonders against a blue sky,
