Photo of the Day
ice crystals on a car window
December 25, 2014
Scattered Snow
“This photo was taken on a chilly morning in the Austrian Alps during our ski holiday,” writes Your Shot member Horst Bierau. “I was about to clear the car of the freshly fallen snow from the night before and head off to the slopes when I noticed the tiny ice crystals on the car’s windowpane. The dark inside of the car cabin provided the perfect background for this motif.”
Bierau’s picture recently appeared in the Your Shot assignment Macro.
