Description An Enchanted Winter

I always wanted a shot like this and actually I was able to get a few of them! As odd as it may sound, scenes like this have always escaped me, why I am none to sure but they sure have! Captured on top of the Sandia Mountains outside of Albuquerque, New Mexico, on a very fresh winter morning the day after fresh snowfall. The air was crisp, so clean, so pure, and when I saw this I immediately said "Yes! That's it! That's the shot I have always wanted" and start just shooting away.

I always envisioned this shot, along with the others, being used on greeting cards, postcards, calendars, and that sort of thing, I suppose it just has that kind of look & feel to me. So that being said, I will make them to be purchased as such. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do!

Really, the downloaded version has the watermark too?
:l
Thanks, you ruined the art.
And I would say find a better place to shoot, without the signs and the road there to mar it.

Lovely snow-topped trees and expansive blue sky. I think the best thing about this wintry image, however, is that the background makes it an identifiably American winter image - you couldn't mistake it for, say, Norway!

All in all, great shot. I find the red of the sig in the bottom corner clashes a bit, though...
