All Natural

Ice in Trees, near Mt. Mitchell, Blue Ridge Parkway, North Carolina  © Doug Hickok


In yesterday's post I mentioned an overnight snowfall on the Black Mountains. Even though most of it had melted by next day, pockets of snow and ice remained on the protected north side of the range. This image may look like a black and white photograph with artificial coloring in the sky, but this is the actual scene shot in color (click on the picture for a larger view). In the iced over trees, you can actually see hints of the red fall foliage.

So
... no artificial coloring, no high fructose corn syrup, no red dye #2, no preservatives, no artificial sweeteners, no perfumes...
Just plain old photography.

  9. another stunning composition in a terrific frame! the tonality of the hillside might indeed lead one to believe that this is a monochrome! (and thanks so much for all this appalachian beauty ...!!!)
