Cold, Cold, Cold. -23F. Taken about 5 miles from my home. My heating bill, that month and the next, were way out of line.

That is one heck of a zoom lens to take this shot from home;-) Joking aside this is a wonderful shot Mike. Like the frozen mist in the air.

Like a lonely monolith standing against the elements! It dares Mother Nature to challenge it. I realy like the bench next to it. It seems to ask for some one to join it in it,s lonlyness. Very nice capture..

Art is the perception of the creator. Meaning is the perception of the viewer. acceptance is the perception of society.

It has a nice surreal dreamy feel to it. I think it would have looked even better without the black on the top and bottom. It still gets high marks from me. :c)

The work of art may have a moral effect, but to demand moral purpose from an artist is to make him ruin his work. (Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - 1832)

Is this from the 'firmly in winter's grasp' tour. The one where your backup singers were sueing you for freezing their knickers to their knees. I got the t-shirt from that concert, You RAWK. Oh wait, wait... I'm confusing you with Pink Floyd. Your name's Michael. My mistake. Never mind.

Plus 10 from me despite you not bein' 'Pink'

LOL Darryl! I agree, this is a beautiful shot! I was missing my daily fix, did you go away for the weekend or did I just become blind and not notice posting on saturday? :)

Although it's probably cold as all get out, I love when the mist forms frost patterns on the branches and twigs of the trees. Beautiful picture.

This one's a ten from me, I love the sharp distinction between the tree and snow line and the misty blended colors of the background

I agree with mayne you camera is insane, taking pictures 5 miles away. What did you use, a telescope? Anyways, it is a swell pictorale. You have not shown me 1 picture I don't like of yours. 10

This is a lovely shot. Nice on the desktop too. The tree blossoms are so fragile appearing and almost look lite up - a perfect little tree. The super white snow sets off the whispy tree and lonely picnic bench. Pleasing image you've made...Thanks

You must have been out there a while to keep lens condensation from causing problems. Winter temperatures like this are common for my area as well and I know that winter photography can be tricky. Beautifual shot.

Hey there, this one was my desktop for a few weeks, too. It reminds me of a magical world, where you don't quite know what's over the hill but you are ever intrigued with finding out. Nice work.

This is quite the tranquil piece, Michael, and would'vedone exceptionally well in the impromtu Stillness Speaks conttest.

Nicely composed, with the bench under the tree really setting off the mood. This was in the perm spot on the front page. Well done! :o) +faves

Please, even if you don't visit my gallery, check out my "Faves".I've left them intact since day "1", and would like it if every image there got the attention they deserved.
