Sadly he was so distracted by the beauty around him that he didn’t notice the edge in front of him. Such a disaster. :(

jk, there’s actually a little story about it here: http://mscrys.deviantart.com/art/Footprints-in-the-Snow-106889873

Crystal Williams replied

It’s was horrible to be honest! My toes were so numb! I came straight home and added “a good pair of winter boots” to my Christmas wish list. ;)

Thanks for commenting. Glad you like it. :)

Gotta LOVE this…inspires a story…even makes me imagine being there for some solitary time…and those are my footprints…remembering what I got out of the still moments of deep thought while seated on that bench. Brilliant. ;)
Crystal Williams replied

Thank you! It’s kinda funny you said that because it inspired me to write a little story as well. It’s on my deviantart page. Feel free to take a look. :)

Oh gosh, just love this composition with the mist, the color, and the snowprints leading to the bench. I can feel the cold, and yet the bench is still inviting!

This is a wonderful composition with the footprints in the snow, the bench and the mist in the background. You should consider joining Canada – The Great White North group here on RB and definitely add this. I’m one of the hosts in the group.

melbourneguy75

This is beautiful, I love how the footsteps curve towards the bench. Lovely shot :)
Crystal Williams replied

Thank you, David. I was going over other shots I had taken earlier on and realized they were actually my own footprints. You’d think I’d be drinking looking at them! But no. Something simply caught my eye causing me to change my destination. It worked out amazingly well though! :)
Woodyk2

This is great!
PeterBusser

I like the way the vague shades in the snow combine with the foggy air in the background. The footsteps lead your I to the bench and the bright spot in the right upper side. Beautiful!
Steve Buffington
