This was taken about 7:30 am on my way home from work.
The sun is behind me and I liked the pink hues in the sky and in the snow.
I also like the lone oak tree with the silo in the distance.

Ya - this is gorgeous, I agree with you, I like the pink hues, lone oak, and distant silo. Wonderful composition. #816455

Susan- you are cranking out the most wonderful and beautiful winter scenes.
Fantastic. Love the tones. Gives it that pastel look and it works so wonderfully here. Details are so excellent as is the composition. Just love the depth. That tree and silo are such an added feature in your capture. I love the rows of cut corn and the lines they produce.
This is definitely a holy crapper.
Have a wonderful day my friend, take care of yourself, be safe out there, stay warm #5261447

Susan Weisensel December 28, 2007

Thank you so much Kaitlin, thanks for stopping by.

Franky you really have a way with words,
So glad you like it as it is one of my favorites. Shots like this are the only good thing about working the grave yard shift as the sunrises are really cool.
Glad it's a holy crapper in your eyes. #5261478

Tammy Espino December 28, 2007

Well hello Brenda girl, I know all you people that don't get snow wish you had it, I have tons of winter photos this year as it just keeps snowing. We are getting snow today all day long and I think there is 4-6" just from today.
I'm so glad you like these shots, can I talk you into coming over to help shovel??? HAHA. Hope all is well. #5262094
