Stunning. And all these shades of blue.
ReplyDeleteHiker...Not too long ago, I read an article about how to take the blue out of photos of snow...I've played with that, but the blue tint seems to emit the feeling of cold...so I tend to leave it alone!!! Warming the color may be a bit more realistic, especially when the sun's out...but still I prefer the blue tint!!!
