Stillness - Hushed Winter Landscape Photography

Utter quiet lay over this snow-covered landscape making for the most peaceful, tranquil morning of photography. The only sound was the snow under my boots as I explored winter trees and a frozen lake. I find minimalist and beautiful wide angle compositions and talk settings and lens choices along the way. Grab your boots and join me for a silent hike. Gorgeous!

Those were beautiful minimalist images of the stumps protruding from the frozen lake and later the three objects from the snow.
