A Beautiful Sublime Sunday - Fog and Frost Makes for Some Beautiful Scenes...

in WE ARE MOVING4 years ago

As we get closer to the shortest day of the year the sun is hanging low on the horizon in the morning making for interesting light and this morning it was particularly interesting with the fog that was rolling in.

Fog Creates Colors in the Sunbeams Radiating Through the Trees

I loved the effect of the sunbeams hitting the fog as they broke through the trees.

With the cold and fog a layer of frost was forming on exposed surfaces.

The frost made for some crystally displays on the dried vegetation showing through the snow.

We headed up the hill to watch the fog roll in over the lake. It made for some beautiful scenes.

It was interesting the crystals that were formed on the snow from a foggy, frosty night.

Through the snow one lone dried Yarrow flower stood which also got covered with frost crystals.

As I left the hilltop I looked back to the fog which had rolled up over the hills.

There was more frosty, foggy scenes on the road home as the fog rolled into the spruce trees at the edge of the road.

I will leave you with a more monotone image taken of the fog over the frozen lake in the hills. A more eerie view of the fog.

Photo of fog, lighting and fence really effective shot here. Closeups of crystals dazzling like beautiful diamonds instantly shining in soft winter sunlight.

Another lovely walk in nature reflecting what you see when outdoors, thanks for sharing this little bit of magic we never get to see.

There is supposed to be an eclipse visible in the west today.
Wonder if that will kept the fog around longer.

The clouds moved in so I never got to see the eclipse - would have been fantastic!

Well, there's the conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn on December 21 you can try to catch.

WOW! What a beautiful winter tour. The frost on the spiderweb, perfectly lighted. I have to back into my files, I was really into photographing spiderwebs for awhile. Nice capture.
I'll bet that was a fun walk , exhilarating!
Have a great day.

Hermosos paisajes de invierno, que buenas fotografias,gracias por compartir tanta belleza natural, saludos
