Description
A young chestnut tree covered with frost and snow makes a colourful contrast to the purple shadows on a cold winter's morning. I take lots of photographs in my garden each year and you might think that they would be repetitive after a while, but they never are. There is always something to see that hasn't been seen before. This one is a real beauty. The chestnut tree has never had leaves left when the first snow came and especially not green leaves. It's a unique combination with the bright sunshine highlighting the details of the leaves and creating a beautiful shadowy background. Of the many photographs I take, there are many that never capture the beauty that I saw with my own eyes, but once in a while I get a result like this one that is like finding treasure. This was one image justifies all the failed photographs and makes the whole day worth getting up for.
