Rural landscapes: wandering through the fields
FIELDS IN THE FOOTHILLS, WEST OF COCHRANE, ALBERTA
When conditions are this good (i.e. snow on the trees and clear, strong winter colours), I like to drive along nameless country roads until I find scenes like this. I’m not quite sure why this picture is so satisfying; perhaps it’s how the trees subtly lead you through the scene, from the foreground shadows to the gentle curves of the distant hills.
Nikon D7100, tripod, polarizing filter.

Nice picture.
Regarding to the shadows of the trees I guess it was maybe 1 or 2 hours before the sun set. So the light should be a little more yellow/red . No? How do you decide to give the blue color? I guess is for the “cold” effect?
