Nature Nature's Abstract In Snow Sculpture

Nature's Abstract In Snow Sculpture · **3 Likes**

Just a simple winterized still leafless stem--willow, I think--at around 7000 feet elevation with snow starting to lose its winter's grip.
Sun caught it just right as I came along, and I saw it accidentally as I was photographing another scene.

You caught this image when the gettin' was good , before some serious melting destroyed this scene .

Standing alone. I like the shaded background contrast with the remaining snow. Interesting composition.

Yes, the melting had just started, little rivulets running beneath the snow.
I was glad I got to be there when I did.

I'm glad you like it.
The shaded background, rather than being totally dark, had some reflected light to make it intriguing.

A type of minimalism which catches the eye

That is just about how I viewed it!

Thanks for the interpretive note!

Yes! A stick and a snowbank--minimalism!

That's what I was trying for; I'm glad you liked it!
Thanks for the note.
