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.

Great shot Toneman…likin it mate!
Cool Mark – cheers mate.
One could say it was pretty frikken bitter with -4C and 50k winds at this spot putting the windchill well into the negative teens !
Well worth it mate! It could have been worse I guess…I could have been standing next to you freezing my tits off as well!
haha – that would have made both of us not standing out there for long ! (unlike 10km’s of hiking the following morning…)
Nice Tony, I think the background grey/blue really compliments the foreground.
hey Ben – yeah the stark contrast sets it off doesn’t it.
cheers,
nice photo, it has a cool (cold) feeling too it
i do like the colour of the trees
hi Chloe,
I know what you are saying Chloe, it has a warm tone but still remains a coldish image.
