(I stole the title from Supertramp.) It is amazing how quiet life is when the ground is covered in snow. I was reminded of this pic when “lindyking” posted “Which Way Should I Go?” I to was out looking for a way to capture the unusual white stuff in 2004. This is near a creek in our area. My Fuji S2 was unable to comprehend this new substance so the white balance shifted on me. However the effect is pleasant so I went ahead and left the blue tones.

Yes, you are right! It does look very quiesent and romantic. The blue effect is surreal, but not too much. It gives a magical touch to this capture, as if something (good) is about to happen in that quiet forest.
I really like this one!

Hi Don, I like this photo and your treatment of it very much! To me, the winter with it's cold temps, it's clean quiet solitude is wonderful. It is difficult to describe the feelings and thoughts I experience while running in the snow. It is so much fun, and there is just me. Hey, maybe that's it, simplistically said! Sincerely, Marilyn

aaaaw... romantic, isn't it? :)) i would like to make snow angels there :D
i think it looks better with this blue shades.. it can be a great wallpaper now, it would be too bright if everything was white ( i prefer darker ones, but this one's wonderful..) those trees look amazing, details are great and the whole "spirit" of the image is brilliant.. a bit mysterious, a bit romantic and magical. great effect, wonderful scene and an amazing image :)

thank you for sharing it with us! :) have a nice day :)

I generally prefer macros for my desktops, but for this I can make an exception. :)

I'm a native Floridian, so I reallly don't like winter much, but snow sure can create some beautiful landscapes. Some of the best photography comes out of accidental shots like this. The blue overall tone gives it an incredible sort of fantasy look to it, which I very much like.

Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo, flying across in front of a beautiful sunset? And he's carrying a beautiful rose in his beak, and also he's carrying a very beautiful painting with his feet. And also, you're drunk. -Jack Handy

You lucky Europeans/North Americans! We here in the South East Asia are getting scalded by flames, shot by the ruthless SUN 24/7. How i wish there is a cold day in Singapore.. how i wish....

that's downright magical. i'm toying with the idea of buying your camera's 'descendant', the S5..so this is very encouraging..white balance issues and all

Looks like a familiar place in Washington, MI USA... I go a retreat there for some truly quiet moments. Beautiful picture.
