Fir in ice and snow

The way this week is going, I am surprised I have any time to put something out on blog. But do not expect me to be elaborate, as my mind is not even here anymore. I just felt picking, post-processing and enjoying a nice photograph will be a nice change from the chaos at work.

Winter seems to be almost over here, again. The snow is slowly melting, and the small patches left will probably be gone by weekend, in those barely around freezing temperatures and sun already higher in the sky. Although it was really cold and unpleasant, I am glad I went out this past Sunday to take few winter pics.

This is one of my favorites from the day. I enjoy how sharp and crisp the branches of the fir tree turned out, the texture created by overlying needles. I like the touch of bright color in branches themselves. And how they are covered in something which looks like snow at some angles, and you see it is ice at others.
