The Line
by Gerard Smith
I took this photo whilst snow shoeing around Crater Lake National Park. After camping out in a snowstorm the previous evening, I found that these great wind-formed snow cornices had formed on the trail.
Equipment: Canon 5D MKII, 17-40L lens

I am seeking to reach an emotive connection through my photography, that connects me to the area I photograph and translate that to those viewing my images. I love the wild places of the earth and some of the hardship that sometimes ensues getting there, but its that connection that I hope to embody through my work and I hope you enjoy it.

Questo quadro della natura dà molta senerità d’animo,
e il bianco candido della neve ti risveglia il senso dell’incontaminato

Thanks everyone – I think this was my favourite shot from the weekend!
Crater Lake was quiet for a little while as they had closed the road due to the snow the night before and only re opened it at lunchtime!
