Title: By the Light of the Moon

...except for the glow from the house in the distance. Longish exposure at about 10 pm, once a day-long snow storm took a break.

Truly lovely, Arlen. I remember moments like this when I lived back east, but can't say I wish we had these in Arizona!

Lovely indeed. Inviting despite the cold snow. The warm tones on the snow lure you right in toward the more pronounced light. I bet you had to work at it to create that night mood ambiance. Excellent work.

Thanks guys, I appreciate all the feedback.

John, yes, you hit the nail on the head. My biggest concern was re-creating that same night time feeling I had when it was shot, so I concentrated on that quite a bit. Otherwise it could have looked pretty much like a daytime scene.
