Silent Night

Here's one from a magical Ponderosa grove in the Deschutes National Forest outside Sisters, OR, seen under heavy snowfall and waning twilight light. I used (or was forced to use) a long exposure, rendering the snowfall more like fog.

 

A fog layer earlier in the day and week, along with cold temperatures, deposited a layer of frost on just about everything except the Ponderosa trunks. That, combined with the fresh and falling snow, covered everything in white which picked up the twilight blues in an eery way. Winter forests under fresh snow fall always amaze me in how silent they are, such a magical experience!
