From photographer Nigel Blake: This photo features several Silver Birch trees covered with winter frost. It was taken at Lakenheath in Suffolk UK. After three days of freezing fog the trees looked jewel encrusted!

I love English winters, and this photo is a perfect example of why I like it so much. I’m long overdue for a visit!
Beautiful shot Sir!!
I love the back-lighting here because it really makes the scene pop. Nice work Nigel.
Awesome shot!
Love it..
Awesome picture, but its best viewed in the larger format the smaller one does not do it justice at all.
