frost along the creek

"before winter says good-bye for good" (7 of 15)

hoarfrost on a misty morning along schwechat creek, near my home. days like this are very common here in winter, alas! no wonder that before long, people get sick and tired of all this dampness and greyness and sincerely long for spring to come once again!

ich bin diesen Winter öfters um die Mittagszeit auf der Autobahn den Inn entlang gefahren, und habe es trotzdem nie geschafft, solche gefrorenen Bäume zu fotografieren :-(

Herrliches Bild Franz; ganz toll finde ich auch die Eisstreifen an den Rändern des Flusses.

Oh this is a splendid image, Franz! The fringes of frost on each side of the creek really add an appealing look to this very chilly looking scene. I love the tones in this scene as well. Looking up from the creek and beyond, the hoarfrost and sky provide a very mystical appeal..Well done sir! Now that our snow has melted and we are now faced with floods, I am ready for spring as well.

Oooooooh yes! I love the hoar frost that you've captured here! And the creek creates great depth to this composition. I only wish we had the opportunity for the frost at least once this season.

Beautiful shot, I like the composition & the soft colour tones. Soon the soft whites & greys will be replaced by the soft greens of spring, something to look forward to.

I can understand that you can get sick of the winter mood after a while. I come from a sunny country, as you know. But the image you posted today is so great! The white on the trees, with the texture of the water and the black silhouette of the trunks are really beautiful together!
