If this didn't creep me out a little! It's one thing to walk down my favorite tracks in spring/summer/fall - a completely different matter when walking thru 6" of snow. Not only a long, kinda hard walk, but all I could think about is where I'd jump to if/when the train came. Note to self. Bring winter jacket, boots, gloves to work if even the remote chance of getting out on time.
Not much done to this, a very slight saturation, didn't need much, no crop.

Canon EOS 20D

Beautiful afternoon light. The shadows are long but the sky is still bright. Love the colors of the trees contrasted with the white snow.

This is, indeed, very nice. The perspective and late day light are perfect.

Isn't it great when the picture is already "cropped" in the camera? Good work.
