Here Comes The Sun
Featured in Sets of Two January 25, 2009.
Companion piece to Heavy Laden with just a hint more sunlight coming through the hazy clouds. Any teensy white specs that I missed are snow flakes. One of the things that makes this area so magical is the sunlight and snow … happening all at once!! This image was also taken on January 20, 2009 with the Nikon D40x and the 18-200mm VR lens with the cp filter. Blue Knob Mountain, Claysburg, PA.

Braedene
Stunning- wonderful winter scene – wish we had snow like this – A favourite.Liz
Lois Bryan replied
Hi Liz!!! Thank you so much!!!!! This was taken on top of a 3000 ft mountain in PA!! Down at the bottom, there was nothing more than a light dusting!!!
Katagram
I have to admit..I really miss this kind of snow…but not the cold..this is a beautiful capture..I know what it is like to have snow and sun at the same time..magical indeed ! !
Lois Bryan replied
Hiiii sweetie!!!! Yes, it does that up there all the time!!! There were barely any flakes falling when I took these, but sometimes there’s nearly a sunny whiteout!!! Soooooo fun!! But I don’t know how I’d take pictures in conditions like that!! LOL!! As it was, it took me nearly 10 minutes or so just to clone off the wet spots that were on the lens!!!!
Katagram
yeah I understand that…standing under an umbrella will help keep it off the lens…or a lens hood might help too…
Lois Bryan replied
Umbrella, no … I don’t get along with them … plus, can’t see me futzing with the camera settings AND holding the umbrella … haha … it would make a funny picture though, I bet!!!! But if no wind, the lens hood is the perfect solution!!!! I have one for each lens, and you know, I’ve never EVER used one!!! SHEESH!!! >slapping self on forehead with back of hand< I never even THOUGHT of those things!!! Thanks for the idea!!!!!
djprov
Hi Lois, This is even better than the other beauty. Wonderful, dp
Lois Bryan replied
Hi dp!!! Oh, I’m so glad you liked this one, too!!!
Katagram
LOL..I actually was thinking of the umbrella you wear on your head..but the image you just gave me is sooooo much better.. LOL
Lois Bryan replied
HAHAHA!!! One of those head things???? >thud< OH!!! Oh my .. um … hmmm .. you know?? THAT is a pretty hilarious visual too!!! No, I think I’ll give the lends hoods a shot. hehe

This reminds me of Latvia… Brrrr…You can feel the cold air on your face and it’s like the calm after the storm. I was in smoggy Cairo at the time…. think I would have rather been rugged up in the crisp air here!!

OOOOO .. cairo … I haven’t been to Egypt … I’ll have to pop over to your portfolio and visit!!!!! Thanks so much for stopping by!!!
