...another view of the setting sun on the winter solstice.
"The Master in the art of living makes little distinction between his work and his play, his labor and his leisure, his mind and his body, his education and his recreation, his love and his religion. He hardly knows which is which. He simply pursues his vision of excellence in whatever he does, leaving others to decide whether he is working or playing. To him he is always doing both."
- Zen Buddhist Text

One of the most incredibly beautiful landscapes I think I've ever seen.

So beautiful Russ. Splendid light and such a beautiful winter landscape. It has such wonderful golden light...and even though it is a frozen landscape it is somehow still inviting and warm.

This is a nice one, Russ. You have chosen a good composition, pulling the power out of simple scene, that demonstrates what photography is all about. Well done!

Wonderful!
Great scene. As it is not fully covered with snow, it creates something more special

This is a real 'reach out and touch' photo. the lighting and sharpness give it a 3d quality. Colors... beautiful. Nice job.

simply superb! i like the low perspective just above the ground - it underlines the frost along the field adn the setting sun in the background is woderful in all its colour...
