I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

    Tom, nice one. I like the contrast and the details of the branches, also the wave-like shape of the trees.

    Well done, Tom! Almost looks like you up on the Blue Ridge this weekend - it's cold and dreary in these parts!

    Thanks for your support, Cristóbal. As you know, I don't often work in B&W.....I'm pleased when they turn out OK.

    Take care,

    Tom

    It's good to hear from you, Richard. Believe me, I was hunting heat about the time I snapped this shot.

    Stay safe,

    I appreciate the nice words, John. I'll bet you've been by these same tress a few times. They're right off the BRP, not far from Blowing Rock.

    Stay warm, brother,

    Very, very, nice Tom - perfect subject for B&W... It has a wonderful "fractal" pattern.

    Thanks, Eric,

    I've always found these kind of scenes to be fascinating. The barren trees tell a whole different story and create a very different mood when compared to those times when they're full of leaves. The Winter temps do their job, of course, in helping with the mood part.

    Take care,

    Tom

    I like it, Tom. You should do a bit more B&W--excellent conversion!

    Thanks, Lauren, I appreciate the support. Some things just cry out for B&W....this was one.

    Take care,

    I appreciate the supportive remarks. I can certainly feel the " tranquility " impression....another 10 minutes out in that weather and I would have been pretty tranquil myself.

    Hi Mary,

    I'll bet you've already seen enough weather like this to last you for the Winter.

    Take care,

    It's started to be a brutal winter, but I still love the trees with their bare branches showing. Eerie and beautiful at the same time.
