Photographer's Note
I love to walk through fresh snow, making my own footprints or follow other ones, as a game maybe, trying out what sizes they have, if they belonged to a child, where they went. The light seemed somehow soft on this late afternoon, the fog had just gone away letting the sun shine a little, still with not much force on this brand new January day. It was a lovely afternoon, away from the skiers on the other side queuing for their rides up.
The mountains in the back are quite well-known for their shape. Each peak has its own name of course, but the whole range is called "Churfirsten".

Hi Barbara,
I really miss snow. Can't get used to not having
it in England.
It must be great to be able to enjoy it the whole
winter in huge amounts?
Interesting compo here with two diagonals running
in opposite directions and wide palette of different
trees in the FG.

Hi Barbara,
Beautiful unique shapes to the peaks against the lovely winter sky. The fresh snow give the valley that very sleepy winter's look expecially if your looking at it through a warm window.

Hello Barbara,
Another great winter landscape.
What I like the most in your picture is the lighting on the trees and the shadow on the background give us an excelllent contrast.
Beautiful composition.
Greetings.

Hello Barbara
Un paysage enneigé avec une lumière superbe.
J'aime beaucoup la forme des montagnes et le petit chalet au premier plan.
Bon week-end

A very pretty scene, Barbara. The warm light on the middle-distance trees contrasts nicely against the cold blue of the hill in the distance. Perhaps it would have been good to include something in the closer foreground--a path leading into the scene, or a hanging branch, maybe. But I really like the mix of winter colors! Regards, Ken.

Hi Barbara,
The light is stunning here; it turns the clouds to gold, and it highlights the distinctive peaks and the trees frosted with snow. Togeter with the light and shadow play and the wonderful framing, the curving road, the small building, the ski runs looking almost like a trail map and the glowing peaks and sky supervising all. I do think this is my favorite TE winter shot this year. HLJ, Pat

Salue Barbara, what I like most here are the different colors and textures of these trees in the foreground. It gives the feeling of 3-D! Obviously the last sunlight breaking trhough the Churfirsten was essential to make it work.

Hallo Barbara. Eine malerische Winterlandschaft vom Neujahr 2006, in der sich das Bergmassiv majestätisch hinter dem verschneiten Wald im Vordergrund erhebt. Mir gefällt besonders die Art und Weise, in der das Sonnenlicht den klaren weißen Schnee im Vordergrund zur Geltung bringt. Schönes Foto.

Hallo Barbara!
Hier sind die Lichtverhältnisse einfach wunderschön und dieser Blick in das schattige Tal ist fesselnd. Das irgendwie warme Braun der Bäume im Vordergrund stellt einen wirkungsvollen Kontrast zum kalten blau-weiß des Schnees dar. Ein schönes Bild!
Grüße aus dem sonnigen und warmen Deutschland!

Hi Barbara,
Early and low angled sunset beams are increases value of your beautiful photo. Snowy trees, forest in snow at ridge and particularly shaped mountain hills are giving gorgeous view with afternoon light plays. Lovely hut and snowy path is invites us to there because we missed winter which is not available here only tropical and rainy summer all year. Congratulations.
Friendly Regards,

Barbara, this is a very nice inviting view, the colors are of course winter cold but are not uninviting. The snow on the trees in beautiful and mountain is awesome. Great capture.

Hi Barbara!
You captured a very picturesque scenery from Alt St. Johann. Beautiful play of the colours, light and shadows. Nice different tones of the snow colour. Excellent shot.

Hello Barbara,
An outstanding landscape and an outstanding capture by an excellent photographer. Your Swiss scenery is outstanding and Switzerland is the favorite country that many American travelers I know have toured. I especially like the contrast between the warm tones on the trees and the cool blues of the distant peaks. The clouds are especially beautiful. Gorgeous photography!

I have a complaint to file - you are way too slow in posting new photos, Barbara :)))) I really REALLY want to see more from your trip to the American West this summer, but while I'm waiting, I keep myself entertained by browsing your older posts.
you know how to make winter look appealing, don't you? :) I don't like cold, I really don't, but looking at your photos I want snow, ice, crispy sunshine and rosy cheeks after a hike across the snow. your sense of good composition is obvious - I like a lot how the photo "builds" up towards the rugged mountains, and the little house is just in the right place to add an accent. the details of the bare trees are great, this is a very good work.
take care,
Kristine

No new post yet?
I was once in Switzerland in Late April, it was still so cold and it snow a couple of times in Daggersheim. We went for a walk in the forest and it looks kind of like this without the mountain except in the distant we can see the Santis.
This sure is beautiful like a Christmas card, but by now your probably had it with the cold and ready for spring. Spring is already here in california. My trees started to flowers, it's crazy. I will take a picture of them and post a workshop for you later.
