from the land of ice and snow


and sun

a thin winter sun that creates the most beautiful softly diffused light when there's ice fog

a non-cold-fearing friend took this photo during a recent spell of -45 and colder weather, the ice fog shrouding the land, temperatures too cold for the sun to have much success at burning it off

she also took the one below after it warmed up several degrees - she knows how much I love the dark open water contrasted with the snowy banks and frosted branches

and she very kindly lets me play around with them using various editing functions and using them in my work in any way that fits my needs




its the next best thing to being able to take them myself!

now that my feet are firmly planted in the land that made me I will be spending as much time out and about as I can

filling the well

take care,

Jillayne
