Best of MinnPics - February 2014

from flickr user alleyraven
A wintry scene near St. Anthony Falls in Minneapolis earns the title of Best of MinnPics 2014 for February. Capturing the sometimes overlooked beauty of our long winters in Minnesota, the photographer was in the right place after what appears to be a light snowfall which left the tree branches coated in a light frosting of snow and the meandering strip of nearly black water contrasts so vividly with the crisp and clean snow that it's hard to believe such serenity exists within the boundaries of Minneapolis.
