On a snowy theme

[Steve Foss]

When it's dark and windy and snowy, and it's tough to find critters on the move, snow, like fog, can add cool layers to landscape images. And sometimes, panoramic is the way to go. No pano looks at its best on a computer screen. They need to be printed at least 24 inches across and hung, but what the heck. I love the bog country!

All from today out the Echo Trail, with the Canon 20D and Canon 100-400L IS, handheld

STC,

Nice pictures. I was looking at the second one and was thiking to myself that I knew where it was and then I noticed it was from Big Lake. Now I can't figure out where on Big Lake

Well, chaff, it is, after all, a BIG LAKE!

Actually, you can see this small island from the public landing, though I walked out toward it quite a ways to get this composition.
