Cold can be scary, yet, cold can be beautiful...

(this amazing +100 year old burr oak was cut down for a highway expansion this past year)

I really liked that tree.

That's a really killer shot. Almost looks like a sketch.

There's a huge Cottonwood tree from which I used to pick mistletoe, 40 years ago. More recently, I've been been photographing this tree in several differing situations. Last year a windstorm broke off a major portion of the tree and looks a bit wounded.

Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks for your comments. That tree was a huge specimen. It seems insurmountable that it would ever be gone within my lifetime. Funny how things unfold ...

Beautiful photo. Finding simplicity in nature is spiritually rewarding. Nailing the shot of it creates great joy.

Really awesome shot Matt. I like all the subtle details in the background. I tried a shot similar to this after a fresh snowfall and frost but it didnt turn out nearly as interesting.

This is an exceptional work of art! Everything came together perfectly for this shot. Its a pity that a chance will never happen again.

Wow, that is a killer photo. Simple yet you keep looking at it there is such minute detail. It sucks that the tree got taken down but at least you got a beautiful photo to remember it by.

I think the superlatives have been used, but I would say this is an excellent image
Or to quote a Jeffrey or Fred "Excellent image making".
Certainly one I would love to have captured.

This reminds me of a tree I have been planning/considering capturing.
Thanks for posting
