Wind, Water and Cold Temperatures Lead to Beautiful Photo of Frost-Covered Forest

Frost-on-the-Trees

While hiking in the Beskydy Mountains on the border of Slovakia and the Czech Republic last week, photographer Jan Bainar captured this stunning image of frost-covered tree trunks.

The weather conditions lined up just right to create these wind-blown frost patterns on just one side of the tree trunks across the entire forest Bainar was hiking through. It looks a bit as though frost is exploding out of the center of each trunk.

To see more from Bainar, be sure to give his profile a follow on 500px where he uploads more beautiful landscape photographs from this mountainous region:
