Snow dunes

Last Friday I had a nice snowshoe walk in the ‘ Monts du Forez’.
For my photo assignment I wanted to have a second look at the lake from the dam des Pradeaux. The night before it had snowed and the forecast for that Friday was sun with some clouds. When I parked my car at the Col Les Pradeaux (1.196 m altitude) the clouds were still hanging above the Nordic ski slope for the children.
I was hoping for more snow on the trees around the lake than the first time I was there , but unfortunately that side is early in the sun and when I arrived the trees looked green with some powder snow on it, too bad for me. 
The lake was frozen and totally covered with snow, the wind had created some nice snow dunes. I got attracted by the lines and shades.
Balancing in the deep snow I managed to get some lower angle shots.
The sun was nicely reflecting on the top of the dunes, which made it challenging to get details in the bright whiteness of the snow.
I also had to be careful that my tripod did not slide down in the deep snow while I was focusing. It would not be the first time you think that everything is nicely in focus and then, realize that the tripod moved.

St. Flour L’Etang| Auvergne, France
Its March and today we had snowstorms as if we are in the middle of Winter. Normally I would already cowl on the flour to look at the first flower buds or even the very first flowers. This image is from last April (2012), lets hope Spring will arrive soon …..
Some feedback so far:
-
nice colour pallette … an overall outsanding dreamy effect…nicely done.
-
Pretty wide-open look, nice textured background, lovely foliage.
I’ll think spring for you! We just had 6 inches of snow, but it’s melted now. -
Very nice.We are just getting Spring-like here in the Southeast
-
Fantastic soft color and light , sweet image
- Somehow I missed this one! Congratulations on EP! The neutral tones in the BG with hints of grass is lovely & I like the way the flower is just peeking out!
-
A beautiful representation of this spring beauty – you had me all excited for a moment until I read this was from last year. It’s the same over here, snow all week, and now rain – spring seems to have gone missing this year

Snow Waves
Puy de Chabane | Auvergne, France
Some feedback so far:
-
Simple, elegant and beautiful!
-
Very nice layer shot.
-
I think I would prefer to crop this vertically where the foot prints start and take you away from the bottom of the photo… but I think I have a vertical fetish lol.
-
Really beautiful. I like the layers and light, but the tracks on the foreground hill make it for me.
-
Beautiful!…esp like the sliver of light on the ridge.
