superbe, sauf qu'il y a un skieur qui c'est arrêté dans l'arbre ;o)

In less words..this picture is astonishing.

Judy said...

Amazing shot. Will the trees survive if the cracks become an avalanche?

Virginia said...

Fabulous capture D. Glad I enlarged. I thought the skier had run into the tree. I could also see the beautiful shadow of that tree in the snow!

is the left ward diagonal line a bird trail ?

Lachezar said...

Fantastic image! Great work, Cheers!

Diederick Wijmans said...

Thanks for your comments, all of you!!
I do not know what the trail was caused by, Ken: took the photo from far away and the trail seems to be too big for birds-feet...
The hill is also very steep, so...it remains somewhat of a mystery also to me.

Title and picture are absolutely a perfect match.

Wow, hard at first to get the perspective on this, they look like ant tracks. Congratulations on yesterday's 200th.

The people or animals seemed to navigate by the trees. Interesting shot.

Ah! Mahmud Yussop is right: astonishing. I want to look at it all day.

Diederick Wijmans said...

Thank you, Fredrik!

Thank you for your kind words, Petrea!!

You're welcome. Since I don't have the time to visit every day, when I come I catch up on all the photos I've missed. You never post a picture that is less than super. When I see several of them all at once it's really something!

Interesting how the crack appears in the snow. Quite an amazing photo.

Wasn't sure what I was seeing here but it is very interesting. You can create you own story, but I would like to know who went through it. : )
