Peoples Forest 3-20-2015
Late winter walks in Peoples State Forest often bring bright sunny days even while deep snow blankets the ground. Coming across the picnic grove, thick layers of undisturbed snow sat piled high on the wooden tables, showing just how much winter weather had settled in. Framing the sun right through the tall tree canopy brought warm light to an otherwise frozen landscape.
The wide-angle framing positions a snow-laden wooden picnic table in the foreground, throwing soft blue shadows across the bright white clearing. Brilliant midday sunlight bursts directly through the evergreen crowns, casting long golden sun rays through the stand of pine trees. The balance between cool snow and radiant sunlight makes a cheerful, crisp outdoor winter wallpaper for monitors.
