Arboretums in winter can be an excellent subject. The fir trade was a founding industry in this Valley. Thank-you for noticing.
The Valley that this scene appears in is deceptive. It is not just a river valley. It extends far beyond that. The slopes of the Valley are very gentle or even considered flat in their rise in altitude until the Rockie Mountain Chain some 3000 miles away from the river at the Eastern edge of the Rockie Mountain Chain. On the Eastern side of the river here the definition of the edge of the Valley is not clearly defined. Depending on choice of criterion, the Eastern edge might be thought to be 10 to 1000 miles away from the shore line. These estimates would span several watersheds but the rise in altitude is not great relative to other more dramatic geographies.
The photograph of the snow scene depicted here is not the most shock and awe inspiring photograph of its type but it is what was available to me on the day that I recorded it. This photo is a PS (point and shoot)

No Mr. P. the record is clear on that. You have tried to make a joke of me already and failed at it. You can make a joke of anything. Your obvious hostility toward me and your effort to make a joke of my photos and my life and person has motivated me to reciprocate. If you are finding that more than you can cope with there is an obvious solution.
Yes Mr. P. of course Mr. P. Not feeling very quick today are you. Get up in the Schnellbahn in the sky again. A heavy carrier and a heavy price tag, that`s the ticket.

I don't use your photos, I hardly ever looked at them. Ideas and jokes are in the Ether(net) if my ideas are similar to yours maybe it's because we have some common experience after all.
