It has been a while so i thought i would stop by and introduce a new image. Set out on bicycle in ice and fog. Returned with this. I wish i had taken more advantage of the 2 weeks of fog here in St. Louis...Also feel free to check out some images from a trip at flickr.com/jjbrauner

Wow, Justin. This one is exciting. It's almost like we're looking at a graveyard, with all these trees as markers where life had been. But when my eye drifts down to the ice on the water, it seems more like a compartmentalized comforter than a megalith on a tomb. I would read the fog and the trees alone as a barren picture - the kind I like to take - an image of the nothing that things draw into existence. And again, alone the pond would be a pleasant "pattern" picture, amusing fractals and frozen chaos.
Together, they don't bring such a dour picture of gloomy winter, but suggest a tranquility, a sleep, with each tree only mostly visible suggesting itself at all points in its life; every sapling and splinter in the ice sings that this is only sleeping, and the wonderful chaos of life will follow soon.
I also enjoyed the second untitled frame in your 'rural' section on the you.com... but thank you most especially for this one.
great pic. the travel series on flicker is killer. some of those rock formation pics are super crisp and the disposable shots have a great wispy textural deal
