Description ...

A beautiful morning in February '06 and I'd hiked the frozen banks of Superior before daylight to get to one of my favorite spots.  The stillness of the cold air as the sun approached the horizon was bitter cold but I pulled my hood down so I could hear the sound of cracking ice in the distance.  The silence was so striking I could imagine I was the only person on earth.

I  forgot about photos for a few minutes, engulfed in the cold quiet of a waking world....

...

I've redone this image with an entirely different workflow, leaving the colors original this time.  Thanks for checking it out my friends!

You're clearly made of much hardier stock than me. I'd still be sitting by the fireplace.
 Captured the cold & quiet perfectly!

I likw the contrast between the snow and lake seeing the trees at the background and the tree on the foreground 
while the sky is clear as day.
