This is a softly portrayed image of a very harsh reality. This image was made along the Columbia River at about the same location as "Lazy Sundown", except the temperature was about -20 degrees F (-28.9 C) and the fog coming up off the river was depositing frost in the trees.

I would have to agree that it is amongst some of your best work my friend. This has such a warming look to it which under the cool circumstances is kind of peculiar. It's beauty took my breath away, and actually made me feel more like welcoming the cooler weather well on it's way.
Thank you,

A beautiful image Michael. Has a very magical feel to it. I would have preferred the whole tree to be in the picture. A minor detail. Excellent nonetheless. Cheers Al.

Very cool (hahah) photo. The variations of blue in this photo are very nice, and the dark tree really pulls the whole shot together. Nicely done as always!

It's fifty degrees here today and I'm freezing. The thought of minus twenty makes my limbs want to snap. Beautiful that the fog hides the far bank.

Excellent. I love the look of trees with frost on it.. But this photo is just so good becasue of the way it looks like an abstract painting or something but its actually real. Keep up the awesome work!!

Amazing... I really love winter and pictures from this time of year. I've seen many pictures on caedes in my time as a member here... but this has got to be my favorite picture so far. On my desktop, 10/10, favorites... thank you... :-)

It takes a special vision to "see" the potential for great photos during the cold and sometimes dreary-ness of winter. This image captures the ethereal nature of winter. The blueness really makes this shot! Thank you for posting this! ~ Jan

Very beautiful capture, the fog creeping up the river is mystic. It could be better without the black border.

I live on the West side of Portland...and we get a lot of the Gorge Winds and ice...so I know this feeling well...The black ice hits us and wow...But when the trees get coated it is a photographers paradise...the ice and the glistening...and yes, it is harsh and yet it is beautiful too!
