Winter Solstice

Glenside SK

Today marks the shortest day in twenty-ten.
Captured at just past one pm the Sun is skirting over the prairie landscape.
Frost gently blows off the grass across the frame creating white spots in the image.
It was a nice day if you like -20C and a bit of a windchill.
I bet Glenn is enjoying his short day but it will be much colder in Alaska !!!!
And yes I too like others captured the Moon last night under a little cloud cover......

Nikon D300 ,Nikkor AF-S 24-70mm f/2.8G ED
1/1600s f/7.1 at 24.0mm iso200 full exif

Love this POV and the way the prairie grass seems to be standing up to the cold and defying it!
