A while back I posted an image from this same location that was taken in the early morning after an ice storm (go to:  http://betsydallasphoto.com/WordPressNew/?p=12968).  The images were taken at different times of day, with different cameras and lenses and in different weather conditions.  Today’s photo was shot in late afternoon after a dusting of snow when there was still a bit of sun illuminating the trees in the foreground and background.  The forest in between, however, is in shadow.  I love the colors and depth of this shot!
