A Few Moments Before...

Posted by Slackwater - don (spokane, United States) on 19 February 2009 in Landscape & Rural.

A few moments before the sun broke through in yesterday's picture, I took this shot across frozen Wandermere Pond a block from my coffee haunt. While the coming sunlight was not so impressive, I liked the delicate look of the small trees and the general mood the light in the sky created. So, I decided it was worth posting.

Beautiful capture here. I love the morning fog that provides a sense of depth for objects that disappear the further into the background you go.

this is really beautiful. The mood created but I think that sun coming through it was helps those trees stand out. The trees are so sharp -- great processing. A lovely image
