Crystal clear skies

It is amazing the oportunities you are presented with in the cold winter skies. The clarity achieved in the colder months is outstanding due to the absolute absence of humidity and haze.

I have to say, I like the second picture the best for color balance.

Same settings on this shot however I gave the circular polarizing filter a 1/4 turn. I am still learning how to use this filter however, that 1/4 turn seems to have darkened the picture up a touch.
