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!

The blue is amazing! I love how you have the road coming from near the center of the photo and slopping around. It draws the eyes in perfectly

That's lovely white/blue color combination! I just love those snowy white trees against that deep blue sky I just wish that we would have snow in the trees too

Wow John! The blue hue in this photo is outstanding. I love when the snow sticks to trees and freezes like that, and you captured it phenomenally!
Well done as always

Same here. For whatever reason almost any time I saw this phenomenon I didn't have time to stop and it melted later.

Whoa the blueness...
I've been searching for blue photoes for days, because I love the colour - and this is the one I've been missing all the time.
Very well done.

Same here with photo manipulations, if I get even a little detail off from the sketch I have in mind, it's back to square one

Lucky you! I have never been able to get a shot like this either. Probably because when the opportunity does present itself, my camera is at home...LOL The blue in the sky is amazing. Just a beautiful shot.

That is why ya have to take your camera everywhere! Mine is just about surgically attached, I NEVER leave home without it, I learned my lesson ago, if you do leave it home, sure can bet that an incredible photo-opp will happen!
