Spartan Pines   Loch a Chroisg, Achnasheen, Scotland

A little family of straggly Scots pine at the edge of deep frosted Loch a Chroisg.  The trees alone seem to have escaped the enveloping freezing mist of earlier in the morning but it is still bitterly cold and my breath rolls away barely dispersing as I exhale.  It is one of my favourite shots despite its lack of strong colour or strong lighting there doesn't seem to be a twig out of place.  It belies the difficulty of aligning the shot.
