This picture was taken in absolute, bitter cold. As the gnarled tree in the foreground attests, it is incrediably cold, magnified by the quick wind all around. Immediately after taking this picture, my camera turned off and would not turn back on until it had warmed back up. Likewise, my fingers instantaneously became cold after taking them out to snap the picture, along with the entire rest of my body soon after. So, I hope the picture was worth the pain.
