Actually, it's the Huntsville Dam and we just had two minor snowstorms this past weekend. Don't really mind the snow at the beginning of the winter season. However, near the end I can't wait for spring to come.

A cracking scene, John. I bet that water is cold. I like the little patches of light on it. Alan Rolfe @ 2008-12-23 13:55:09
Wow, can't believe all the snow textures you've captured here. Cool little dam -- love the emotion of these woods -- very storybook-y. Joe @ 2008-12-23 14:42:15

I like the composition and the way the whitewater on the right glows blue. With all the snow around here, I sure feel like winter should be over! But we've three long and wet months to go... jan @ 2008-12-23 18:52:12
yeah, too much of anything is really a drag.. but at least we have something to look forward to again.. you've managed to capture another winner.. i like the painter's feel in this shot.. nice work.. :) Rian @ 2008-12-23 19:19:04
I agree with you on that... snow is nice in the beginning, but at the end its nice to see its gone too :)
Great picture, you have it all, snow, nature, water building...all in one picture and very nicely executed. I like it :) Ivar @ 2008-12-23 21:34:16
Another beautiful capture. Your images always inspire me to try and do better with my own. Toni @ 2008-12-23 22:00:05
Gorgeous shot. Very nice detail from foreground to background. I love how the the stream/river flows through the composition. I would love to visit such a place someday! Dustin W. Fletcher @ 2008-12-23 22:20:39
Beautiful capture, John. Especially nice for the holidays. sherri @ 2008-12-23 22:33:35
Nice shot John. I'm running away from terrible heat in Mumbai for some cold weather in North India. I miss cold, though not the cold of East Coast. Ankush. @ 2008-12-23 22:58:26

A Real Winter Wonderland. Hope you managed to keep your feet warm and dry.
A Very Merry Christmas to you and to yours, John. Stephen Phillips @ 2008-12-24 18:43:30
Une petite rivière pleine de charme, mais je ne ferai pas trempette pour autant. ;-)).
Joyeux Noël ! JMS @ 2008-12-24 19:12:16
Superbly worked image so full of drama and swirl . . looks like it is headed for an ice dam ! Ronnie 2¢ @ 2008-12-24 22:06:53
Beautiful photo! so dreamy. I would be happy to see a version where the snow in bottom left part is whiter. I think it might improve a little this great image. Happy Christmas / Hanukkah! Avi Revivo @ 2008-12-25 03:39:39
Que voilà une grande et belle photo ! tout est parfait dans cette image, le sujet, le cadrage, les couleurs, la netteté, bref tout. Marie @ 2008-12-25 06:01:55

Núria NJ @ 2008-12-25 15:54:44
Your processing turned a very nice looking scene into something fantastic. You clearly have put your stamp on it.
Only one improvement I see: I would have made the snow in front a the left brighter. Also the waterfall, which is so beautiful but only a small part, draws lots of attention. So it is not 100% balanced. LightningPaul @ 2008-12-25 16:38:48
merry christmas john!, nice landscape as usual, it frozen my bones just to look at it. pedro alexandre @ 2008-12-25 17:54:24
To cold for me John but a beautiful scene; Wishing you a very merry Christmas. Chris @ 2008-12-25 17:55:18
Looks like a place where you don't wanner fall in.. Very cold it is!!!! Brrrrr! Claus Petersen @ 2008-12-25 18:15:06
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2009. May the Light be with you for the whole new year! ;p) Miro at LightIsAllAround.com @ 2008-12-25 19:15:25
This is really a gorgeous shot. What a beautiful spot to take photos. Laurie @ 2008-12-26 02:25:07
That's is truly amazing frame! Great capture, love it :)
Have a happy holidays and a happy 2009! Ilan @ 2008-12-26 08:42:45
i expected some salmons out of water.... :-)) vera @ 2008-12-26 08:52:43
Wonderfully rendered shot, John...the lighting on the small dam office provides a nice focal point, draws the eye across the frame, and is really nicely done. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and yours. Hess @ 2008-12-26 09:46:24
Great light leading you into the image. Nice. Nick @ 2008-12-26 14:07:28
Cold but peaceful. I always like how your shots give me the feel as if I was looking outward right in that spot where you were standing. Nice color and depth. :) Hope Christmas was enjoyable for you and the family. :) Tom Sheehan @ 2008-12-26 18:03:45
Another beautifully poetic winter image. Andres @ 2008-12-26 18:37:07
A nice shot. Almost monochromatic. Love the composition :) Pradeep @ 2008-12-27 02:11:26
What a nice capture of water and snow ! namaki @ 2008-12-27 06:54:10
bonsoir,
great details..nice processing..Happy Christmas time..! jelb @ 2008-12-27 11:36:32
gorgeous shot with an awesome HDR post processing. Best wishes!! Emma @ 2008-12-29 17:05:22
Quel surréalisme ! C'est splendide. Il n'y a même rien à rajouter! Sandra @ 2008-12-30 07:34:22
So chilly !
It seems a lovely place for a walk ! I mean in summer ! Denis @ 2008-12-30 07:54:51
There is a beautiful balance of colors here. The exposures combine to create a stunning scene that feels cold but looks approachable. Nicely seen. Chris Cardelli @ 2008-12-30 14:19:16
I like how your images have a limited color range. Very effective! You did a great job with the extremes of darks and whites in this image. Nice! Anita Bower @ 2008-12-31 08:10:12
It's amazing what you done with that landscape. Beautiful! Joachim @ 2009-01-02 08:20:50
...I'd like to be there walking around this river, just to listen all the forest noises...
Great work! Leila @ 2009-01-02 13:25:26
Fantastic! Love the warm colors, despite the apparant coldness Omar @ 2009-01-03 09:51:44
Très beau travail de mise en valeur de la nature.
J'aime l'arrière plan très pastoral en opposition avec l'eau vive au premier plan.
SwissCharles Phototherapy @ 2009-01-05 16:20:47
I will come back to see again this marvelous shot. Marie @ 2009-01-15 05:42:23
Great shot John. I like the contrast of the color against the snow. John @ 2009-01-22 21:07:37
Feels as if the water is tumbling at my feet. Love this title and not certain how I missed it - think I must have been on holiday in the 'damn snow' myself over the holidays ;-) Kevin from OrganicPIX.com @ 2009-01-23 15:19:15
Wonderful composition and rendering! Darhy @ 2009-01-31 13:38:15
Des siècles que je ne suis pas venue John et j'ai tort car tes photos sont toujours de très grande qualité. Mais c'est plus compliqué de devoir ouvrir un lien que de naviguer sur un site comme Aminus3 alors comme je suis paresseuse je vais souvent au plus court.
La neige, par opposition aux couleurs sombres du torrent, compose une belle image d'hiver que j'apprécie infiniment. Marie Le Corre @ 2009-12-19 04:40:43
Comments on: Dam Snow Actually, it's the Huntsville Dam and we just had two minor snowstorms this past weekend. Don't really mind the snow at the beginning of the winter season. However, near the end I can't wait for spring to come.
Thanks for visiting. I really appreciate your support and comments!
