Description
Yesterday, my wife & I decided to drive up to the snow in the mountains around Ashland, which was about a 45 minute drive from our house. We picked up a couple of friends & headed up. The sky was blue with almost no clouds, it was windy & very cold (about 20 degrees up there), even with our layers of clothes. This shot was taken about halfway up - there was a lot more snow further on. We were planning to drive up to a lake via a side road, but the two lane snow covered road eventually narrowed to just one & we decided to turn around rather than risk getting stuck...

Fantastic place and view!

What a spectacular sunlight effect on the rock formation!
It always seem to me that the sky is much more stark blue in winter than in any other season.
Great capture!

Probably wise; I once lost a car on a spontaneous trip up to Crater Lake in an October blizzard. At one point we were foundering in the deep snow on the road, and were close to being stuck when the arrival of a snowplow coming from the opposite direction saved us from that. But when we stopped for the night the block cracked and that was it, it meant a bus trip home to the LA area.

the blues are gorgeous, and strong contrast to the deep earthen hues. And the composition is a perfect slope from right-top to left-center, with a deep-yellow line to pull it all together. A very rich and pleasing shot, Claude. And re getting caught (ala Denise), I've been there, though not in mountains. It was way northern Canada, not far from the Hudson Bay, and the snow banks were so high that, when I got out of the car to stretch, I fell into a snow bank until my head was a full 3 feet beneath the surface. There was a creek down there, and I fell all they way down. I literally scratched my way back to "air". Another day, I turned too early and nose dived into a snow bank that took me an hour to get out of. It was a small hamlet way north. And, same trip, I drove into a blizzard and my car did a 90 degree turn---on a highway with no visibility. So I was suddenly facing the opposite direction on a 60 MPH highway, knowing that a car could be zooming towards me unbeknownst, because the visibility was zero. Luckily it was way north, and there were few cars out. I frantically turned the car around and got the hell outa there. So I know what it's like to get stuck. Not fun...(And you know what? I got asked if I was a "Jew" about 20 times. I guess they hadn't seen a lotta Jews up there. It was a little unnerving, though mostly innocent...)
