When Seasons Collide

[Lizardqing]

Hurricane Sandy made for some interesting scenery around here. The fall colors were still going when it came through and dumped a few feet of snow in the Smoky Mountains. Not very often down here can you get snow and fall colors at the same time. Not very often anyway we get snow measured in feet, let alone in October!

Just beautiful. I love those little "autumn islands" surrounded by pure white.
The 2nd one is also great. I love slow exposures.

Very nice set chris. I def like #1 with the amazing contrasting colour. Almost has an IR look to it.

Agree with others that the first shot is outstanding! Nice to see that at least for you, something good came out of that awful storm event.
