Just now returned from a fantastic winter adventure in the White Mountains, NH. Perfect weather and trail conditions allowed me to hike a substantial loop up high -- first ascending to a summit, then hiking a section of the ridge (hiking up and over other peaks), and ending by descending from the last peak. A great day of hiking with amazing views! #FootpathFriday #snowshoeing #mountains

In the spirit of the snow/wind storm that I am currently experiencing here in SE Massachusetts, I am sharing some pics from last week’s hike in the White #Mountains, NH illustrating the large amount of snow that was there. (Upper left) trail junction 2/3 up the mountain; (Upper right) same spot last June; (Lower left) alpine zone near final ascent; (Lower right) halfway down. #MountainMonday #hiking #snow

This was my view looking up the trail on my ascent up peak #3 of my hike on the ridge last week in the White Mountains, NH. Clear skies with great views to the horizon plus perfect trail conditions made for a wonderful adventure. #FootpathFriday #hiking #mountains

When I hiked recently on this mountain ridge, the evidence of harsh weather from previous storms was clear. Features were covered with rime ice, like ghosts frozen (literally!) in time from strong winds and cold temps in those storms, supercooling the droplets from the fog/low-clouds and freezing onto the feature in interesting patterns. So eerie and unique! #MountainMonday #hiking #winter

These pics illustrate the contrasting views in my recent hike in the White #Mountains, NH. Top left: mountain ridge. Top right: End of hike as the sun sets. I enjoyed all phases of the hike-- dawn to dusk, above/below the treeline. Check out the below link-- it has a 3D view of the entire hike that you can rotate (screen shot of one view; lower right). #FootpathFriday #hiking #winter

I like how it illustrates the challenge of photographing landscapes with snow, sometimes in the same day. The blue of the sky suddenly transfers to the snow. Really nice!
I agree! I also turn to black and white when there is too much contrast, as it helps with shadows and textures 😉
