Winter Skies

It’s been snowy and cold this winter, and that’s when you can see the most incredible blues in the sky. There are particular shades of blue that only seems to appear when the temperatures are very low. These are blues that can stop you in your tracks, so you can take them in and appreciate how amazing they are. The turquoise blue in this first image is one of my favorites.

I’ve heard that in photography, the worse the weather, the greater the opportunity. That definitely inspires me to get up and get out there when weather conditions are challenging – at least most of the time! 😉 As long as my camera stays dry, it’s all good. With so much variation in color rendering between computer monitors, I’m hoping you see the same blues on your screen as I do on mine. You’re fortunate if you have the chance to see these winter blue skies in person.

Both of these images were captured on the same day within a half an hour of each other. A storm was just passing and the sky was changing fast! The clouds were breaking up to reveal the stunning blue sky behind them. It was lovely walking in the snow. Everything was a special kind of quiet, especially with snow that was like powder. Even though you can spend an hour getting ready to go out to spend a couple of hours outside, it’s definitely worth doing.
