Moonlit Freezing Rain by stray_shooter

Moonlit Freezing Rain

A world away from the warm sunny climate of California today - it's freezing rain in South Carolina. Treacherous conditions for the locals, but beautiful opportunities for photographers.
Let me be the first to FAV it....this is beautiful!! And, so different from what we are experiencing here right now, even though it was a little cooler today! I am not sure what the light source is (lamppost, perhaps?), but I love how the rain soaked tree branches are lit! Beautiful capture!

Interresting how you have the three distinct features that all tie in with each other-- The moon half in darkness and streaked, the rain, and the beautifully lit rain-soaked branches. Interesting photo.

fabulous Ron. So many different elements

Oh yi. Nasty weather you've traveled to. Looks like the moon is falling right along with rain. Cool effect.

Great image Ron it does portray the feeling of a cold but mystical night:)

Ледяной дождь это красиво,но сколько деревьев поломано,а многие стоят до земли склоненные...Страшная сказка-луна,дождь и хрустальные деревья

I really like this because of the abstract background with the moon. Very cool shot and fav!

That looks cold beyond belief! With those marvelous photo opportunities, isn't there a problem with getting the lens wet? The photo is gorgeous, but if for no other reason, you should get faves for braving the elements!

@panthora Well, thanks for being the first fav, Osia! I appreciate the kind comments. Yes, the light source was a parking lot lamp. The background behind me was a very unglorious Publix grocery store. ;-)

@clake Thank so much Caroline. I like how you picked up on the various elements there. Didn't really occur to me - at least consciously!

@gilbertwood Thanks Denise - stunningly different - I like that!

@terryliv Thanks Terry. Gotta make something out of my sentence to the misery of the USA winter.

@lyndemc Yes, nasty weather, but great opportunities. Everyone around me thinks I'm nuts. Glad I have my fellow nuts on line to remind me that I have company in trying to find the beauty in such conditions. Thanks for the pep talk!

@pcoulson Gosh, that's the perfect description, Peter. Cold, but mystical. Tonight it's supposed to be cold but miserable. Not normal for this part of the country.

@simta Вы знаете последствия ледяной дождь, ну я вижу. Да, многие деревья были вниз, власть потеряла во многих местах. Но есть красота! Спасибо за комментарии, Татьяна.

@joysfocus Happy to have a fav from you, Joy! Thanks for the comments.

@Weezilou And that's why I use the lens hood! ;-) Thanks, Louise. It's not so bad, really. At freezing temps and no wind it's pretty easy to deal with. Now tomorrow morning, that's another story!

@stray_shooter touche! You'll be pleased to know I had mine on all day... I had a good teacher :)

Beautiful lighting and ice! Fav

Awesome shot Ron! I really like look of the rain and the way the tree shimmers in the light!

@opticlens @cjphoto Thanks so much for the kind comments Sarah and Chris - it was pretty, but I'm happy to be home where it's warm and sunny!
