Bahamas have too many tourists, I prefer my house where it got over 80F today, and I was outside in a T-shirt.

Nice capture of those icy trees, looks like winter wonderland.

I'm in Florida now, but I've lived in Minnesota, Arkansas and Texas over 34 years. And if I knew any vegetarians, I'd probably tell them the same thing.

Mine went to 42.9C (109F) but I still prefer it to the white stuff.

But not to derail the thread - this is a very cold shot. I have been places with snow, but not with that much ice.

Is this in Infrared or a straight B+W?

Straight B&W....added contrast to define the tree branches, was flat otherwise. Also sharpened the image due to atmospheric softening, caused by the distance and crappy weather. Does look alot like Infrared, but it is B&W. Ice forming on branches really does give that IFR appearance. Cheers!

Well, thank-you kindly, needed that pine to help separate the rather white branches and grey overtones, gives depth and space to the pic.....thanks again..drive safe.Cheers!!
