Here’s another shot of the amazing frost we found at Bryce Canyon last year. These crystals were an inch or so long and completely covered three or four small conifers.
What this shot doesn’t show is how tricky it was to get to the trees to photograph them. The area was covered in about four feet of snow with a hard frozen layer on top. As you tried to walk over it, you broke through the top layer and ended up floundering about underneath trying to get back to the surface again. Fellow trip participant, David Deutch grabbed this somewhat unflattering image of me attempting to negotiate the snowfield just prior to taking the shot above.
Wow! Did that tree come with a rotating color wheel, or was that extra? Absolutely incredible scene, and great use of your polarizer.

Interestingly enough, there was no polariser used to take this shot. Just take a lovely clear, high altitude morning and a bit of under-exposure and you get a similar effect.
Wow!
What kind of fluffy and beautiful ice crystals
Excellent
