When we arrived at the mountain on Friday afternoon, the temperatures were hovering at slightly above freezing and the icing on the trees and the roads was trying to decide if it wanted to refreeze or not. The winds came up … and the power to the cabin was out. It was going to be a c-c-c-coooold night if the power company couldn’t get up the mountain!! But we underestimated Valley Rural Electric … those brave darlings had our power back on within a short while, and life was good. For about 2 hours. Then just as my son was arriving and driving down our road there was a POP and a blinding flash and we were again plunged into darkness. The powerful power guys were back on the scene quickly and by the time we got back to the house after having dinner out, the electric was back and stayed back. Saturday was windy and gray with a little snow toward evening. Sunday morning broke bright and beautiful, as you see it!!! I hope you enjoy our view!!!!

Now, go grab some hot cocoa (drinking chocolate to our British friends), crank up this tune … then come back and enjoy the rest of my winter-wonderland!!!!! TransSiberian Orchestra

Taken from the deck at our ski cabin on Blue Knob in Claysburg PA December 21, 2008. I was using the Nikon D40x with the 18-135mm lens and the polarizer. Only levels and some shadows and highlights touched.

    What an awesome winter wonderland you have portrayed for us here!!! Lois this is so beautiful! I’m glad I can enjoy it from where I am. I don’t know what I’d do if I had to face the reality of what you have to go through! ...what 15 years in the tropics have done to me!!! This goes right into my favorites!!!

  • Lois Bryan replied

    Bless your heart, Blair … thank you so much. Haven’t you been back home in the winter at all??? And please remember that I only see this on the weekends, usually!!! Down here in Maryland it’s pretty dull … which, come to think of it … is probably why the beauty of these mountains continues to blow me away!!!

    Agnes McGuinness

    A stunning shot, Lois. Gorgeous light. Agnes xx

  • Lois Bryan replied

    A good eye on you, Agnes, yes I think I caught the light just right too … I was standing with the house behind me, but it’s an A-frame, so the shadow isn’t boxy like a regular house’s shadow would be. The light was coming from my right rear … and it highlighted the limbs nicely, I thought.

Sorry you can’t hear the music … it’s the Trans-Siberian Orchestra’s Christmas / Sarajevo (The Carol of the Bells) which I’m sure you’ve heard. Very forceful and dramatic!!!

  • John Absher

    John Absher

    Excellent shot Lois … congrats on well deserved “feature” selection!! Nice job with exposure. Colors are great. Not that I’m criticizing the tree or branches by any means, but I would actually also like to have seen this shot without any of the branches. The rolling hills, shadows on the distant hills, and what appears to be water or ice over the first hill make for a great scene.

  • Lois Bryan replied

    Hi John!! thank you so much for your lovely note!!! Actually this was taken from my deck, so the trees kind of come with the territory with the lens strengths that I have. I walked around to another road, though, one that faces a slightly different view of the mountains in the distance and got several shots from there. I’ve been thinking of uploading one or some of those … with your encouragement here, I just might!!!! I’d be interested in your opinion … to me, they’re not as exciting. But I do thank you again!!!

  • John Absher

    John Absher

    From your deck . . . Lucky You!! What a great view!! Looking forward to seeing some of those other shots you got Lois, but again … ain’t nothin wrong with this one!! If you happen to have gotten any at an angle that might show just a bit more of the water, I’d like to see the impact (that is water or ice, isn’t it?).

  • Lois Bryan replied

    No, it isn’t water .. it’s shadow … i’m at about 3,000 feet at this spot. Did you check out the other images from this shoot that I posted?? There are three others … they may give you a better idea of the view.

  • John Absher

    John Absher

    Ironically, I just finished checking them out, but still had not picked up on the fact that there was no water there. Now that you’ve told me, I can certainly see that they could just as easily be shadows . . . fooled me. In any event, all great shots Lois!

  • trwphotography

    trwphotography

    out of all of them Lois this is my favorite!!! I love the way you have it framed and the way the blue sky is reflecting in the middle. Great shot!

    You framed this very well. We aren’t getting a winter in the southern Appalachian Mountains anymore so this combination of snow and ice is sadly a rarity for me.

    THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL SHOT Lois, WOW!! Colder temps tend to lend that little extra something to a winter capture, don’t you think? CONGRATS on the feature!! Take Care.

  • Lois Bryan replied

    Hiiii Deb and Rick!!!! Thank you so much … we drove up on Friday in -7 degrees … I think we got up to 15 or so today … but the skies were gray and it snowed off and on all weekend so no bright sunny snow scenes this time.

  • Lois Bryan replied

    Don’t worry … I’ve been having RB problems since last night ... long delay in pages opening, or not opening at all. All the rest of my internet seems fine, so I’m assuming it’s RB-related. Of course if you WANT to feature my stuff over and over … please do!! LOL!!! Hugzzzz!!!!!!

    Well ….. I thought I’d never get to the end of this list Lois. You’re obviously a very talented lady. For me it was a toss up between this one, “Hello Sweetheart” and ” Favourite Path”. You have a great day!!

  • Lois Bryan replied

    thank you so much for your visit and lovely note, Ray. I love photographing just about everything but certain images do have my heart. You’ve found three of them!!!! Thank you again!!!
