My Sunday - 3
Featured in Safe Haven December 25, 2008.
Same scene, different minute … one of the things that fascinates me about the mountain is the incredible difference in the view that Mother Nature displays for our enjoyment … minute by minute the advancing shadows play with color and light creating nuances and surprises that feed the soul.
Taken December 21, 2008 with the Nikon D40x and the 18-135 lens, circular polarizer attached, on top of Blue Knob Mountain in Claysburg, PA.

Lynda McDonald
get the bunk bed out, i’m coming on down !
gorgeous Lois
Lois Bryan replied
Lynda … I have 4 bunk beds and believe it or not, I tossed two of them!!! Plus 2 sofas, 2 loveseats, 2 double beds and a king. Oh. And another sofa. The house used to sleep 17!!! Was known all over the mountain as THE party house!!! We think half the ski school was conceived there, lol!!!!! The walls still echo with laughter. And the light fixtures with beer. But that’s another story for another time.
Curtiss Simpson
Beautiful view Lois love the frosted trees !
Lois Bryan replied
Thank you so much, Curtiss … I had to be quick, the wind picked up not long after I got back in from my walk!!!!!!
Fremme
Great job on this image my dear, love the natural framing you did here, the details on the branches (frost) and then the great depth, very well done
Lois Bryan replied
thank you sooo much … it’s the view from our deck up in the mountains. The day we first looked at the place, when I saw that view, I had to control myself in front of the seller … if she’d seen the jumping up and down and going “WHEEEEE!” thing … she’d have raised the price!!!

Oh boy, Lois…and here I sit in a “frosty” 50 something degree winter’s day in California, feeling like I’m freezing to death!!! The sky is vivid blue, the birds are singing, Sunshine is prancing about in the back yard…and I’m cold!!!!! But, this gorgeous picture of yours makes me know that I could be a lot colder!!! This is simply gorgeous!!!!!!
Lois Bryan replied
The scene you describe is gorgeous, Lynn!!!!! Didja take pics??? LOL!!! As to cold?? Don’t talk to me!!! Put on another pair of socks, sip hot tea, grab your hoodie and pull it up over your head. You’ll be fine!!!
John Vandeven
Fantastic shot.
Lois Bryan replied
John .. thank you .. my apologies for missing your lovely note earlier!!
Rosemary Scott
The sky has changed the whole shot….... & this one is spectacular too!!
“My Sunday” made me want to go out in all that snow & play, but this one says – rug up, fireplace, good book & a hot cuppa…... that’s my idea of heaven!
Lois Bryan replied
LOL!!! Rosemary, I was standing at the doors to our deck, snapping these … and the sky changed so fast as I shot each one … it was incredible!!!! And you’re right … the fireplace, good book and cuppa are essential!!!!!
