Yikes that looks verrry cold! Love the colors in this - the blue gives it such a crisp feel. Beautiful capture.

@Janice Thomson: Thanks a lot my friend, I didn't know whether to call it Cold Blue or Code Blue, but it looks so space-like I settled for Code ;)
@Stunner: Hey Stunner, the colder, the brighter, thanks a lot :)
Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
Lovely shapes and textures, Lorraine. I expect to see the movie hero emerge from the mist. The colors are so inviting. Gorgeous shot.

"She wore bluuuuueee velvet/ Bluer than velvet was the [snow]/ Softer than satin was the light...". Sorry for the edit, but this is more than worth it!

Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
I'm with Craiger -- my first thought was when did you visit the Arctic Circle? Then I realized -- that's Canada in winter. Duh! Looks like a major deep freeze; great bright colors and all, but this picture brings chills to my computer's monitor (and me).
