Frosty Layers, Utah
Continuing the wintery theme, here's another image from last February's trip to Utah that makes me shiver just looking at it. This was taken on the same road where I took the previous frozen firs picture but here we stopped on the side of a shallow, snow-filled valley. The view of the opposite side of said valley was fabulous with layers of colour presumably caused by different types of trees and different levels of frosting. I used a long lens to compress the perspective and give the result you see here.

This is such a beautiful photo, it’s like a tapestry – Mother Nature is really quite something, isn’t she?

very tranquil abstract feel.

I’m glad you like the picture – thanks for the comments! I was drawn to this scene as a geomatric abstract as much as anything else. The broad horizontal stripes coupled with the fine texture of the branches was really appealing to me and, in hindsight, probably worth freezing for a few more moments to capture.
