Thanks for all your votes and comments.

This is really true: My (almost) everyday sight, sitting alone in a van crossing the arctic circle. And yes - you find trees there as well.

An interesting winter capture: but image to have blue cast and may require color correction.

Very nice. I would prefer more foreground than sky. But maybe that wasn't possible. Nice shot.

Looks very very cold! Even though it is mostly white, it still all cotrast nicely against the sky.

Wabi-sabi means the imperfection in the beauty... so??

Gave this an 8 because I like the textures of the trees, it could almost be a miniture world the way it looks.
