Can you spot the Zebra? Excellent shot!

A marvelous black & white image Matt! The snow is silky smooth with those beautiful flowing shadows in contrast with the vertical aspen trunks.

Thanks! It was irresistible when I was skiing by and had to stop and get some images.

This shot is almost mesmerizing. The complex patterns created by the trees, their shadows and the contours of the snow are marvelous, almost more than you can take. It's good that you recognized this while skiing and captured it in images. Well done.

Fascinating image! I think it is screaming to be printed and framed, and hung on a wall!

**angkymac** · 10-25-2022, 07:09 PM

I can very well see you stopping to grab this shot!
Stupendous catch!
Angky.

Wonderful photograph. Love the shadows on the snow amidst the black and white of the aspens.

Thanks! Yeah the little undulations of terrain here combined with the angle of the sun were perfect. Lucky me!

Thank you! It was XC skiing so stopping wasn't an inconvenience.

Intriguing puzzle about shadows, nicely captured, correctly framed between two trees. I love monochrome for reasons that are masterfully depicted here.
