Frosted light

If you wish for the light, be ready to receive it. — Rumi

Spring is on its way —

But only last week, the bright sun

And the feathered hoar frost

Turned the world into a black and white wonderland.

The sky may be bleached of colour,

But that frosted light is glorious!

  7. Nydelige bilder! Og nesten fravær av farger kan ofte være vel så vakkert! Fantastisk lys!
    Forrige innlegget ditt, og spesielt det første bildet, som jeg falt pladask for, var riktig, riktig lekkert!
    Ha en fin dag videre:)

  18. There is an American Photographer, Ansel Adams, who is famous for his Black & White Photography. I love Black & Whites – they convey a certain emotion that is different than color. I imagine you took these shots in color, but the frost and colors washed out to full grey tones of black and white, so the effect is the same. Your photos are frame worthy! Thank you for sharing your talent.

    1. Thank you for your kind comment. Yes, these were taken in colour – but the brightness of the sun and snow has made them look black and white.

  23. Simply amazing! Hoar frost is so magical! Really great shots, I love your words about the sky being bleached of color — what a great description.

  28. Re. your question in my blog: I can´t tell you. But the company Pinterest take for granted that the person who has pinned your photo has your approval (pursuant to the agreement) and that gives Pinterest the right to sell your “stolen” photo.

  32. Hi there, I love seeing hoar frost on the trees. One year, a few years ago, when we were in Arkansas, we saw hoar frost on the trees on that mountain. We got some fabulous pictures that year. Love your words, frosted light. Fits your pictures perfectly. Thanks for sharing.
    Hugs,
    Betsy

  53. Fantastic photos. But now that spring has arrived I have not
    more like a cold, but only of color and warmth.
    (Thanks for your visit, the fire was small, I was burning
    branches broken by snow). Ciao

  66. You are better than anyone I know at translating your joyful attitude toward life into your photographs! Thank you for sharing the joy!

    This is me (Sallie, FullTime-Life). Word Press has decided not to allow me to log in unless I sign in under my (completely inactive) Word Press account. (I love how all these blog-hosting sites take it into their little heads (?) occasionally to “FIX” what ain’t broke. Typepad (mine) and Google do that too, this week it has been yours, WordPress. Sigh!

    1. So sorry about this. I*ve been in the settings several times and see that you should be able to make comments by just filling in name and e-mail address. I have no idea why WP is acting up right now.

    Thanks for sharing.

    PS What do you think about people “pinning” your Photos on Pinterest???? Is that a good or a bad thing in your opinion?

    1. That’s a tricky one about Pinterest. I love spreading the love, but the problem is that when you sign the terms and conditions with Pinterest, you promise that you have PERMISSION from the photographer to re-pin her photos (which clearly people don’t have). And once you’ve re-pinned a photo you say you have permission for, then according to the agreement you signed with Pinterest, they can then use that photo and sell it to others. If the person who took the photo finds out and decides to go to court, then you are responsible for all the costs.

      So – I like the thought behind Pinterest, but not the commercial aspect they have of saying they own anything pinned there.
