Barbara from Florida, United StatesYou captured the beautiful silence. This is magnificent, Lorraine. Love the light and shadows. I really miss the snow after seeing this. 5 Jan 2009 5:06am @Barbara: thanks for the beautiful comment Barb :) @Kaylin Idora: Thanks very much Kaylin :) MontereyJohn from Salinas, California, United StatesMy eye went right to the wind erosion is the crust of the snow. Now isn't that odd? I guess it's the light and shadow and the gentle sculpting. The shadow of the trees seems to point in that direction. Do I need glasses or what? :) 5 Jan 2009 5:53am @MontereyJohn: I think you see brilliantly, why ruin it with glasses lol thanks a lot John :) Jean-François from LES ISSAMBRES, Francemagnifiques couleurs ..... quelle belle impression musicale on dirait de la musique de GRIEG !!!!!!!!!!! j'adore ! 5 Jan 2009 6:09am @Jean-François: Wow, quel beau commentaire, merci beaucoup JF :) Lesley from Lincoln, United StatesSuch a beautiful image.
