Morning calm settles over the Alberta prairie as hoar frost meets the climbing sun in a small grove of trees, creating a scene that borders on the surreal.

Captures a dream like quality Clifford, making for a beautiful photo. (But hopefully not in my dreams! :) Brrr! )

Very impressive shot Clifford. The trees and fence was already a perfect subject and the way you compose it with the sun is just amasing. Appreciate the shadow sunray on top of the sun.

Great shot Clifford. It is magical the way the hoar frost blankets everything and the sun peeking through gives the composition the added interest. Nicely captured.

So cool, Clifford!! It looks almost monochromatic. I love the hint of sun and the leading line of the fence. Great job!!
