Christmas Trees Alight · **2 Likes**

A low winter sun with some bright high cirrus clouds lighted these trees naturally.

Nice image Angky! The diffused sunlight made these trees look like they were flocked. It is amazing how they have the silvery sheen all the way into the distance.

Thanks for your comment; glad you liked that perspective ( it's almost always a question I have on such shots).

Thanks for that!
I had wondered about that yellow-green to blue-green. But that's what the colors were...

Thank you, Jer.
I guess it just happened that way; the creativity was in the lighting, and I didn't move any lights around!

Glad you liked it.

That is a marvelous photo. The trees are lit by nature alone. The overall colors of this scene are superb from the bright green foreground all the way to the hazy background. Excellent shot.

Very creative and natural way of "decorating" Christmas trees. And a very elegant landscape photo even without the Christmas tree association.

Very nicely captured, Angky! What serendipity!

Thank you!
As concerns 'decorating' them, I have to appreciate somebody else's hand in that.

I am just glad I came by to capture that awesome lighting display.

"Serendipitous" is precisely the word from my own perspective!
I came along, and looked out across the hills, and there it was, all on display for me to appreciate.
Thanks!
Angky.
