I offer the snowy woodland scene as wall art in a choice of print sizes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI was standing on a frozen lake near my Northern Ontario studio when the newly risen sun reached this birch. The air was cold, but the light along its pale branches was warm. Below the tree, untouched snow spread across the lake in a smooth, almost unbroken surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe birch leans out from the shoreline and opens into a wide network of bare limbs. Some branches stretch low over the snow, while the upper ones climb into a clear blue sky. Their irregular lines give the tree a distinctive shape. The darker woodland behind it provides enough contrast to make the pale bark easy to follow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis colour photograph holds two very different impressions of winter together. There is the cool blue of the open sky and the whiteness of the frozen lake, but also the gold and brown tones where morning light reaches the trees. I was interested in that warmth within a scene that otherwise feels spare and cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKeeping the smooth lake surface beneath the busy branches gives the composition a quiet lower edge. Nothing in the snow competes with the tree, and the vertical frame leaves room for its height as well as its leaning form. For me, the photograph recalls the stillness of that winter morning close to home: a familiar shoreline changed by snow, and a single birch made prominent by the first light.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e© Dan Kosmayer, 2013\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dan Kosmayer Photography","offers":[{"title":"5 × 7 inches (12.7 × 17.8 cm)","offer_id":50571201904719,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 × 8 inches (15.2 × 20.3 cm)","offer_id":67592163557455,"sku":null,"price":29.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 × 10 inches (20.3 × 25.4 cm)","offer_id":40606725865551,"sku":"","price":34.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 × 12 inches (20.3 × 30.5 cm)","offer_id":67592708259919,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 × 14 inches (27.9 × 35.6 cm)","offer_id":40606750244943,"sku":"","price":42.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"11 × 17 inches (27.9 × 43.2 cm)","offer_id":67593527361615,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 16 inches (30.5 × 40.6 cm)","offer_id":40058227949647,"sku":"","price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"12 × 18 inches (30.5 × 45.7 cm)","offer_id":67594343940175,"sku":null,"price":56.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 20 inches (40.6 × 50.8 cm)","offer_id":40058227982415,"sku":"","price":63.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16 × 24 inches (40.6 × 61.0 cm)","offer_id":67595320393807,"sku":null,"price":69.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"18 × 24 inches (45.7 × 61.0 cm)","offer_id":40606767153231,"sku":"","price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 × 28 inches (50.8 × 71.1 cm)","offer_id":67600412213327,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24 × 36 inches (61.0 × 91.4 cm)","offer_id":41185656799311,"sku":"","price":105.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"28 × 40 inches (71.1 × 101.6 cm)","offer_id":67595965661263,"sku":null,"price":115.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"30 × 40 inches (76.2 × 101.6 cm)","offer_id":41185725644879,"sku":"","price":125.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A3 (29.7 × 42.0 cm)","offer_id":43805451878479,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A2 (42.0 × 59.4 cm)","offer_id":43804745433167,"sku":null,"price":72.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A1 (59.4 × 84.1 cm)","offer_id":43804817883215,"sku":null,"price":99.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"A0 (84.1 x 118.9 cm)","offer_id":67747551477839,"sku":null,"price":139.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9685\/2047\/files\/Leaning-Birch-Above-a-Frozen-Ontario-Lake-Winter-Photography-1.jpg?v=1792884379","url":"https:\/\/dinkosmayer.com\/products\/leaning-birch-tree-over-the-frozen-lake-in-northern-ontario","provider":"Dan Kosmayer Fine Art Photography","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
