Thanks all for the kind words on the frozen field picture. Here's one more:

Austin, these are amazing - I already noticed them on flickr. Somehow scary, but also beutiful and fascinating. Hope you don´t get such weather too often ;-)

Nice calm and quiet fall scenery Alex.

Austin, your iced fields pictures are some of my all-time favorite landscape photos.

Thank you, Jan! It was a quiet morning a few minutes before sunrise.

Nice! I would have liked to see this lower, though it does give perspective of the grand-ness, I would like this particular one better as a pano image and lower to see more detail in the frozen land, but then, I guess this one makes you yearn for more, which is an effect of wanting to get in there and touch it!

Really nice stuff!

Well, I wanted it to be as much about the void as the field. I was chasing a certain feeling you might say. I did make a couple of alternate versions, but I liked this one the best. Anyway, thanks for the compliment!

Beautiful

Thank you Alex.

Thank you. This sort of weather is fairly rare in this part of Oregon. The strange thing about this field is that the fields surrounding it were not covered in ice this way. Maybe here they had sprinklers on (intentionally?) and then the water froze? As I was the only one crazy enough to be out exploring, there was no one around to ask.

Wow Peter, that is very kind of you to say. Thank you. But I would think that such scenes would be almost mundane for you, seeing as you're in Wisconsin.

I like it.

One of the things I especially like about them is that you're the one traipsing the 4x5 camera over the ice, not me.

But sure, I see (and take) a lot of ice and snow pictures, but yours are particularly good.

Thank you.Jody!
