Description

Did you enjoy Grand Ballon? Great! There are more 'ballons' in the Vosges. Like this mountain, Ballon d'Alsace (1247 m, 4091 ft). Freezing temperatures on this mountain as well but we're a little bit more on the altitude of the clouds now. The branches are covered with thick layers of ice and they still grow when clouds wrap around these trees. Minolta X-700 (Fuji Sensia 100, 70 mm) Thanks for your attention and your always valuable comments

I can almost feel the cold radiating from the ice and snow covered trees. I love the way the branches are not completely covered by the ice and snow and the darkness of them make the whiteness really stand out. This is nature in her bare and brutal reality and beauty.
