Here is another photo I took near the Slim Creek Rest Area on Hwy. 16 on Monday morning. This one also has some nice light, but I also thought it was fascinating because of the trees. Slim Creek is in a valley bottom, so it doesn’t get much wind or direct sunlight and they are colder. The slope you see in the background with the bare trees is in a more open area that gets more direct sunshine and wind and is warmer.
The trees on the valley bottom are heavily laden with snow. I assume that as much snow probably fell on the background trees, but is gone because of the its physical situation, unlike the more sheltered trees in the foreground.

The trees in the foreground all look to have been sprayed with shiny silver paint, I know it is white , but it looks silvery. Makes a wonderfully cold looking winter scene.
