Snow looks different down here

Lying on my stomach on frozen Lake Dillon, trying to capture the ridges from wind-blown snow and the sparkle from the early-morning sun. The world is different from ground-level!

  1. Great perspective, Val! My idea of enjoying snow is through a window, sitting next to a fireplace with a warm drink in my hand.

  9. You're right--the patterns and sparkles are not anything one would see from a more traditional angle. (Do you STILL have snow?)
