Frozen trees…

This is a recent image from up in the alps. A temperature range for several days between -2C and -5C left these trees caked in ice. The setting sun briefly glistened across the scene as a snow shower passes in the background – a moment of apparent warmth in a frozen world.

Nice Tony, I think the background grey/blue really compliments the foreground.

- hi Chloe,
  I know what you are saying Chloe, it has a warm tone but still remains a coldish image.
