Description

Captured near Snow Lake in the Snoqualmie Pass area of Washington, “Frostbound” showcases a towering alpine tree encased in fresh winter frost as sunlight cuts through fog and cloud. The scene blends quiet drama with high-country mood: soft fog rising from the valley, textured branches glazed in ice, and a hint of rugged ridgelines fading into the background.

Rendered in black and white, the photograph highlights the structure, contrast, and atmosphere of a Pacific Northwest winter — an elegant study in light, shadow, and timeless mountain solitude.
