Description
An Enchanted WinterI 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!

Oh my God, I don't usually like pictures with snow, but I love this! I love all the shades of blue you captured against the brilliant white. Thanks for sharing it and I'm sure you'll make a bundle with this one!

The shot is nice, but I have to be honest there are too many other things in the shot that shouldn't be there. The road is great but signs are distracting and that other gray thing in the bottom left (maybe another sign). Still it looks amazing and you really captured that crisp air feel.

I adore the trees in this image John, it just screams winter to me. To be expected with the snow I suppose but still. lol Very nicely done and the framing is excellent and I love the mountain range off in the distance (had to look twice to see that one haha)

I never take my camera with me everywhere. I sure pay for it too. Should have seen the color in the sky last night at sunset. Major facepalm.

It is a pity there is a road in this, such clarity etc, woul dlove to see all nature with no destruction of man.
Still love it though.
