Deborah,
A beautiful winter's snowy scene with the tree branches laden down with snow making a tunnel for you to drive or skid through. The clear blue sky making a perfect backdrop to this wintry scene. Beautiful composition, framing & lighting taken with superb camera techniques & sharp focus.
Rather you than me if we had that snow here the country would declare an emergency & everything would grind to a halt until the snow melted.

    LOL I've heard that before Susan....and declare an emergency for a lot LESS snow than what's here! I didn't grow up in a place that got this kind of snow but you adjust and learn to deal w/ it. Thank you so much for having a look here and for the wonderful review too. I do appreciate it.

So much beauty captured in your winter scene. Taken under a gorgeous sky with that dark blue against the white snow so beautiful. I like your low perspective and the way the road draws us into this winter wonderland. So enjoyed reading your artists notes and good storytelling with your image. Good use of light and shadows creating depth and interest in your shot. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing.

You're a doll as well for sharing a gold star w/ it. Thank you for THAT too ML!

Wow! Super cool shot. The sky is brilliant blue and flawless. It makes the icy trees pop off the screen. Nice sunlit road that leads your eye into the scene. Love the lights and darks in the snow tracks of the road.

A well named photograph. There have been winter snow days here in Santa Fe where the sky is cloudless and very blue like this one. This one brings back some of those memories. As to the composition of the photo, just about perfect with a lot of varied sized forms, spaces and light play. Beautiful picture. Reasons for my five star vote.

Comment from Jo Calderbank


Beautiful and so serene , the eye is drawn by the pathway through the trees beckoning the viewer to take a walk amongst the sparkling trees which stand out beautifully against the deep blue sky.
The shadow and light on the snow covered lane really highlights the snow with superb white balance.
Crisp clear with great exposure.
And perfect framing. Yes I would love to be there to photograph this lovely scene. A pleasure to view.
Keep warm. Jo.

A beautiful winter image of part of your driveway....something we do not get in Melbourne, Australia. There is a majestic feel with everything covered in snow, especially the tall trees sparkling in the sunlight. It is a delightful photo with the contrast of the blue sky and white of the snow. Very well composed and focussed.
