This is just glorious. I love the almost monotone look to it with all that frost. I agree with Mary - looks a little haunted. Beautifully composed.

Connie,
This should be proof that I like this, and that it is a great shot! I just selected this one again not realizing I had commented back in May!!
I have a covered bridge, not as nice, that was burned after I took it so I put it on here.
Great gallery still!!

Jim
