Photo of the day - Winter branches

by Alex Robertson Textor (RSS feed) on Dec 30th 2011 at 5:00PM

Today's Photo of the Day captures a mess of winter branches spread across a gray sky like competing capillary systems. Winter officially began in the Northern Hemisphere on December 22. There's no nice way to say it. Winter is here, and the leaves have been gone for some time.

Unlike most Photos of the Day, this one was uploaded without any information provided as to the shot's location. Its photographer, Flickr user femme_fm, lives in Zagreb, so we'll imagine that this image was snapped in the Croatian capital, where it is, no surprise, currently freezing.

Upload your favorite seasonal images to the Gadling Group Pool over at Flickr. We're always looking for season-attuned photographs to be featured as future Photos of the Day.

I think no location was listed because it looks like it was created in photoshop. I'm honestly not saying that in a nasty way, just those branches look like brushes.

hi

Actually, this is real shot, taken in Zagreb (good guess :) ), more precisely Medvednica mountain beside Zagreb..
If you really focus on branches in bottom left part you will see vignetting.

Cheers
