Winter grip on those trees gives a strong image. I like it a lot, of course.
Thanks Francois and Eric for your comments. As always, when the weather or light or ground conditions change, old scenes can appear refreshed, as with this stream-boggy area. In other seasons this area is visually and physically inaccessible and is filled with thickets of bushes and plants. Now the stream and bog appears widen open. I am glad I didn't pass it by.
