| Birch Tree Trunk and Rocks, Roan Highlands, North Carolina/Tennessee © Doug Hickok A dusting of snow adds texture to tree trunk and rocks in this scene along the Appalachian Trail. Many blogs that I have visited this January have displayed beautiful images of snowy winter wonderlands. We don't have snow in Charleston, so I had to pull an image from last fall when Becky and I took a hike in the highlands of North Carolina. With an unusually warm winter (thanks to a La Nina cycle), apparently, this will be the closest thing we will have to a snowy wonderland this year. |

It amazes me how anything can grow in such cold climates. I can feel the chill.
ReplyDeleteNo snow here yet either, Doug, but, BRRRRRR!, it could well be on the way! Lovely photo which shows that you don't need several feet of snow to create a great image.
ReplyDeleteVery nice work Doug!
ReplyDeleteWe did not have snow and frost until now, so maybe this is not a mild winter but you are still waiting for winter:)
ReplyDeleteA suggestive image for life prevailing even among stones!
ReplyDeleteeven a trace, like this, stirs the heart somehow, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteWe got our first dusting yesterday, Doug, so don't stop crossing your fingers and toes. It may still happen for you! In the meantime, it's so lovely to see scenes like this for me! :)

I like this composition with three definite planes of interest, yet total sharpness from front to back.
ReplyDeletelove the effect of the snow, i wish somwday i will be able to photgraf the snow 2 :D
ReplyDeleteThe snow plastered on the tree goes help give it form and revealed it's shape. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteInteresting shot man. I know how you feel, we don't get snow here either. Gotta go FIND it!
ReplyDeletea most attractive and thoughtful composition, doug! i love the lines provided by rocks and tree, and the textures thanks to the snow!
ReplyDeletestill now snow hereabouts, either, but heavy frost, so the rivers are beginning to freeze over.
