Early Frost

Wayne National Forest, OhioThis would have to be one of the coldest mornings I can remember–the river was actually freezing in front of me–you can see the chunks of ice floating downstream! I was fully clad in my winter gear, but I could hardly feel my fingers as I loaded the film. This was nature at its extreme. A night frost had coated the trees and they looked like glass. As I set up my camera the sun cracked and backlit the frozen scene. I took a series of shots till I couldn’t stand the arctic conditions any more. The resulting image looks like a painting.  45 Artist Proof / 950 Limited Edition
