These apples survived the entire winter in my neighbor's tree. They still hang there with the new apple blossoms coming out!

@Richard_Irwin: Thank you, Richard... I had to wait until the light hit them just right to get the detail in the apples.

Very interesting! Here in our region apple farmers have stated to produce ice-cider from apples harvested when they are frozen to -10º C, and it is quite a hit not only here but also in Europe and Japan, a little like ice-wine.

@vu@granby: That sounds delicious! Thank you so much for that information!

Very strange! I have never seen that before!

@Tracey: I never saw apples stay all winter like that before, either. Usually the ground is covered and the deer have them gone before Thanksgiving!

Great contrast (but not entirely in the photographic sense!). Great sky color and detail you have captured here.

@Chris: Thanks, Chris!

First thing I thought when I saw it was Old and New. Then saw your title. I like the low light. It gives great definition to the shot.

@Michael Rawluk: Thanks, Michael!
