Frozen solid sunset, Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. February 24, 2021, 5:35 PM.

#hiking #photography #outdoors #landscapephotography #nature #Connecticut #winter #forest #snow #ice #naturephotography #lake #wintertime #sunset #sunsetphotography

Beneath a partly cloudy sky the sun is setting behind the far shore of a large lake. The pale blue gray sky has some streaky, hazy clouds tinted orange and gold near and along the horizon. The leafless trees of a winter hardwood forest surrounds the lake on both sides and along that far shoreline. An inch or two of frozen snow pocked with the paw prints of small animals covers the ground. A few dormant leafless shrubs poke above the snow. The surface of the lake is completely frozen over.

The heart of winter at the reservoir. New Britain Reservoir, Southington, Connecticut. January 4, 2017, 4:45 PM.

A dormant freshwater marsh beside a frozen lake on a rainy day in January. The dormant marsh grasses are wearing bronze and beige tones. A large dark blue-gray rock outcrop rising from the marsh is wet from rain. There are many puddles on the frozen lake surface. The forest on the far shore of the lake is filled with leafless trees. The sky is gray and overcast, streaked with darker gray clouds.

Silver and bronze winter forest sunset, hold the ice... and snow, Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. February 24, 2020, 4:40 PM.

#hiking #photography #outdoors #landscapephotography #nature #Connecticut #winter #forest #lake #wintertime #sunset #sunsetphotography

Standing near the shore of a lake in a winter forest of naked branches and dormant golden-brown grasses. Behind a shroud of haze and thin clouds, the sun is a large bright blob sinking towards another leafless forest covering a low ridge rising above the far shore. Its rays are tinting many of the clouds in pale bronze tones and creating a broad trail of bright white across the small waves rippling the lake surface. Away from that light trail, the crests of the waves are reflecting a bright silver light.

Gold and lemon yellow wintry sunset at Lindsley Brook, Wolcott, Connecticut. December 22, 2019, 4:03 PM.

The sun is setting behind the leafless trees of a winter hardwood forest. A dusting of fresh wet snow covers the ground and some of the tree branches. A thick underbrush of leafless shrubs is also coated with snow. A small stream with snow-coated rocks runs through the middle of the forest, emptying into a large mostly frozen lake beyond the trees. The sky near the horizon is tinted gold and lemon yellow by the rays of the setting sun.

Winter twilight at Lost Ponds, Mattatuck State Forest, Plymouth, Connecticut. February 28, 2018, 5:44 PM.

A soft gray twilight long past sunset. Standing beside a pond, looking across its lightly rippled waters. The far shore is wooded, the forest silhouetted in the fading light. Although no snow or ice is visible, it is the heart of winter. The tree branches are bare except for a few evergreens. A thick bank of clouds along the horizon is shades of darker gray against the clear skies above. The sky and silhouetted forest are mirrored on the pond below.

Glossy winter afternoon, Lindsley Brook, Wolcott, Connecticut. February 6, 2021, 4:39 PM.

#hiking #photography #outdoors #landscapephotography #nature #Connecticut #winter #forest #snow #ice #naturephotography #lake #wintertime #sunset

A soft blue late afternoon sky with streaky, gauzy thin clouds. We are standing along the bank of a small stream near its outlet into a small cove on a large lake. The stream and lake are surrounded by forests of leafless trees. An inch or so of wet snow coats the ground. The thin coating allows many of the ground's contours to show through. The stream and lake are mostly frozen over, with occasional dark patches of open water peeking through the snow covered ice. The gleaming pale orange sun is low above the horizon, giving the scene a soft golden glow mixed with deepening shadows. Tow bright horizontal rays extend left and right across the frame.

A low sun angle and a low camera angle combine to turn maybe a half inch of snow into a wintry tundra. Dormant marsh in winter sunshine, Marino Pond, Plymouth, Connecticut. January 10, 2018, 2:58 PM.

Late afternoon sunshine is bringing out the sparkle in a fresh dusting of snow and casting long shadows from the dormant grasses and twigs projecting above the snow (and the ice below it).

Weather-beaten tree atop the cliffs tackles another winter, Giant's Right Knee, Sleeping Giant State Park, Hamden, Connecticut. January 10, 2025, 2:40 PM.

#hiking #photography #outdoors #landscapephotography #nature #Connecticut #winter #forest #naturephotography #trails #mountains #wintertime

A baby blue sky with thin, gauzy clouds. Emerging out of the forest onto cliffs of gray and reddish brown rock speckled with light gray lichen. This part of the cliffs has a wild profusion of moss, grass, shrubs and the occasional small tree growing in a thin layer of soil across much of the rock. Almost all are dormant for winter. The trees and shrubs are mostly leafless, the grass is golden brown. A weather-beaten tree with a tangle of gnarled and broken limbs stands just to our left. A large patch of moss at its feet is an electric yellowish green in the bright sunshine. This moss and a small pine beside the tree sport the only green on the cliffs this January day. To our right is the rocky edge of the cliff. The sun, offscreen top, is shining directly at us, creating a patchwork of long dark shadows and splashes of bright sunlight.

Doesn't look much like January sunset, Lindsley Brook, Wolcott, Connecticut. January 26, 2020, 4:53 PM.

#hiking #photography #outdoors #landscapephotography #nature #Connecticut #winter #forest #stream #lake #wintertime #sunset #sunsetphotography

A brook and the lake into which it empties are surrounded by a leafless forest which is the only real indication in the picture that it is January. There is no snow on the ground or ice on or around the water. The brook is running over a shallow rocky bed, creating small rapids. The sky is a pale blue, tinted gold along the horizon where the sun has just set. Banks of clouds are tinted bright orange and dark purple.

Fire and ice sunset 2. Scoville Reservoir, Wolcott, Connecticut. February 17, 2021, 4:49 PM.

#hiking #photography #outdoors #landscapephotography #nature #Connecticut #winter #February #forest #snow #ice #lake #wintertime #sunset #sunsetphotography

Standing near the shore of a frozen lake. The ground around us is coated with an inch or two of snow that has melted and refroze, capturing small animal tracks and other details in the ice. The sun is setting over the wooded far shoreline, casting deep shadows across our miniature tundra. Leafless trees in the forest surrounding the lake are silhouetted in the light. The sky is filled with streaks of hazy thin clouds, tinted gold and orange along the horizon. The sun is an enlarged blob of bright yellow behind the veil of haze, creating an elongated bright reflection on the ice.

Cold but snowless January evening, New Britain Reservoir, Southington, Connecticut. January 16, 2017, 5:00 PM.

#hiking #photography #outdoors #landscapephotography #nature #Connecticut #winter #forest #ice #monochrome #lake #wintertime

Monochrome image. On a bleak, cloudy and cold January evening, we are standing near the shore of a lake surrounded by a forest of leafless hardwoods with some pines and hemlocks. The lake is frozen solid, but there is not a flake of snow to be seen. Much of the near shoreline is fronted by large formations of jagged and serrated formations of dark gray rock speckled with light gray lichen and exposed veins of very light gray quartz.

Beneath a partly cloudy sky the sun is setting behind the leafless trees of a winter hardwood forest. An inch or two of fresh wet snow covers the ground. A thick underbrush of leafless shrubs pokes out of the snow. A small, unfrozen stream filled with partially-submerged rocks runs through the middle of the forest, emptying into a large snow-covered mostly frozen lake beyond the trees. The pale blue gray sky has some streaky, hazy clouds tinted orange and gold along the horizon.

A slow moving stream through a marsh. A forest of leafless trees is mirrored in the lightly rippled waters. The marsh flora, like the trees, is dormant for winter. A very light dusting of snow on the stream banks. Shot in very high contrast black and white.

Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting sunset (h/t George Harrison), Hidden Lake, Fall Mountain, Plymouth, Connecticut. February 18, 2018, 5:44 PM. After a day of thawing, numerous holes in the ice reflect the pinks and golds of a sunset under a crescent moon.

#hiking #photography #outdoors #landscapephotography #nature #Connecticut #winter #forest #ice #lake #wintertime #sunset #sunsetphotography

We are standing atop a ridge, looking down at a small frozen lake surrounded by low wooded ridges silhouetted in the evening light. It is past sunset, the sky is a pale blue along the horizon, deepening as you look up towards the crescent moon. A number of streaky, hazy clouds are still catching bright pinks, golds and oranges from the sun below the horizon. The surface ice on the lake is very thin and reflects darker and more muted versions of the sky colors. It has melted all the way through in many places, leaving small holes where water mirrors the brighter colors.
