If you've been following this blog, you've seen this shot. The image above was taken in early March this year.

Sunset Crater Volcano National Monument
Part of The Great American West series.

J'ai grande hâte de voir la suite de ta série sur l'ouest américain. Ce volcan est-il toujours actif ou bien endormi depuis longtemps ? j'aime l'idée d'un volcan recouvert par la neige.

@Marie LC: It has been dormant for a long time.

Just love to see seasons effect on a same place, thanks for sharing, it's as beautiful as the former one in such a different way, just like a face your portrait on different periods of time passing !

It looks like a cake... :) i like your colors, such a beautiful sky above slight layer of snow. Trees on the left add depth of field and the eye goes directly to the volcano/cake (greedy !:) great compo too !

Stunning to see this awesome volcanic cone in the snow. Just perfect for me! (I love volcanoes and especially enjoying all the coverage about the one in Iceland...only because I have no plans to travel!)

I like the addition of the snow on the crater and the field for the added contrast. Beautiful shot.

Now, I see - you revisited this place too ;)) I like winter and so much of snow, but this time I prefer your older image :))

Yes I remember it and I like very much that one perhaps because I also like very much the snow :)

OUCH! Just after warming up to your tulip captures, that four-letter word is re-introduced. Regardless, this is a nice capture accompanied by a great colored sky; and I love the comparisons between the two photos.

Great to see the difference in the two seasons....this is a beautiful clear shot:-)
Compliments with your tulip series- they all look gorgeous!

I like that you have this in different seasons. You should pair them in a set and sell them.
