 Strangely, I had the title in mind before I had the shot. I wish there were some evergreens in the shot however they seemed to not show off the frost as well.

And yes it was cold. -30 degrees Celsius...

A bit harsh on the eyes as it's a tad overexposed.

Those trees look beautiful w/ the frost/snow cover! Wish there was less @ the bottom though it pulls my eyes down and way from the pretty top & is far less interesting there.

I wonder how this would of looked if it was cropped tighter to only show the trees and the sky? Love the contrast of the white against the blue .

The white is so bright that detail is lost. I think the trees against the sky would have made a nice shot.

Snow's a little overexposed. I know snow is tricky on autoexposure systems.
