Slogged out into the actual Blizzard for this one... through the forest near my home, 2 feet of untouched snow. The wind was blowing hard, and my lens had to be cleaned constantly. I didn't take many pictures, but when I saw this scene, I spent around 15 minutes taking a hundred shots to make sure at least one worked out, b/c I knew I had found something worthwhile.
Thank you for the votes and faves!

I'm glad to see this on the top 10 page now. I thought it should have finished in the top 10 for sure. Love the stark contrasts of the lines of the trees popping out from the blowing snow. Beautiful capture!
What a click stopper! There's nothing really going on in the photo, but I'm captivated. Maybe it's fog that adds a little mystery and makes me want to walk in and check it out. The tones are great, and I love how there's trees from corner to corner.
