Frost tree Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

On the 22-th of december it was a lovely white day over here in Holland because of the frost. This picture I took at the Vogelenzangpark (English: Birdsong park), a nature park in Spijkenisse.

Here's some info on hoarfrost from the internet:

Hoar frost occurs when water vapor touches a very cold surface and freezes on it instantly. This can happen to the leaves and branches of plants, and will cover them with ice crystals that look like spiky fingers.
It can also occur on other freezing surfaces such as soil and metal, and so can often be seen on cars. Hoar frost can occur at higher temperatures than rime frost – usually when the air temperature is around 0°C (32°F). However, the ground is usually much colder, and the air must be moist for the ice crystals to form.

Hey Nel,

A successful photo of the tree, it looks like its very much burdened by the dew. Edited nicely, if it was. A good POV.

Enjoy

Hello, Nel,
what a beautiful shot! This tree looks as though it is made of delicate glass. It is perfect in contrast to that blue, blue sky. The lighting and color are superb and I like the way the frost lays heavy on the grass. A truly lovely photo. Many thanks and have a wonderful New Year!!

Excellent winter compo in white and blue, I like the silhouette of the frosty tree on the BG of the blue sky and the special winter light.
Have a great New Year !
