A photograph of a forested hill near Lake Biwa in Japan, lightly covered with an early snowfall. The dusting of snow frosts the branches of the bare trees on the lower slopes and covers the evergreens higher up. The overcast sky and the snow give the hill a frosted, "greybeard" appearance, which is visually referenced by the post's title.
