I really like this. Nice sephia tone, great composition. Makes me think of the old days approaching my grandmother's house in winter.

Guillermina from Buenos Aires, Argentina
This is extremely beautiful, L.... But really, extremely beautiful. And sad, and melancholy...
(I've always liked what sepia does with the snow. You've captured it perfectly here.)
17 Dec 2007 12:55pm
@Guillermina: Thanks very much G., it's strange this winter's making me melancholic, which is unusual for me, so it probably shows a bit too in my photos:)
Ian Bramham from Manchester, United Kingdom
I agree with Guillermina that the sepia tone does make it appear melancholy but also beautiful at the same time - like an old picture discovered hidden in the attic.
17 Dec 2007 1:55pm
@Ian Bramham: Wow you two can read my mind, I'm absolutely in the mood to find treasures in the Attic...;) thanks a lot!
Janice Thomson from Courtenay BC, Canada
Beautiful again mon amie. You work wonders with the sepia tones - is this outside your house? I do hope your 'wishes' come true.
17 Dec 2007 2:23pm
@Janice Thomson: Ahhh thank you my dear friend, It'd be nice to be granted a wish :)...nope not outside my house but closeby :)
Walt from Scarborough, Canada
Very nice - the lack of colour is perfect for a snowy scene!
17 Dec 2007 2:33pm
@Walt: You know it's strange Walt I'm usually so excited about snow and winter, and this year, not so much...mmm but I do love it in sepia LOL
Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan
You're sending me down memory lane with this shot, Lorraine! It used to be like this...about 50 years ago....in my homecountry. Now I'm glad I had those happy cold winters, with lots of snow that turned into hills by the side of the street! And there was some serious playing in the snow until all my clothes used to turn wet. (maybe this is why I have so many pains and aches by now! LOL)

@Japanalia: Thanks a lot Gabriela, I appreciate a photo that brings you down memory lane, so I'm grateful for that. At the moment, outside my window as I'm typing this, is a 6 foot little hill in front of my house. We've had 2 major blizzards in the last two days...Today It's White and Blue all over, and I'm getting old and I'm still all wet LOL

Ras from Plano, United States
sepia tone makes it look like it really stormed and continues to storm. I love the look.
17 Dec 2007 4:54pm
@Ras: Good thinking Ras, it is and it does...;)
@badala: Oh Badala, you ain't seen nothin' yet!!! LOL thanks :)
Reza from Montreal, Canada
Yesterday we had a snowstorm, and I think you did too. I had no chance to go out and take some winter/snow shots so far but I hope I am gonna make it someday ;)
This is great indeed and sepia works well.
17 Dec 2007 6:43pm
@Reza: Thanks Reza, oh yes we've been snowed in, in fact if it weren't for my terrific neighbour, I wouldn't be able to leave my house LOL
@Jasp: You're very intuitive, 'cause I wish called this 3 wishes...hope they come true :)
T-Daddy from Dachsbach, Germany
Eine wundervolles Foto, sieht fast aus wie von den Anfängen der Fotografie
17 Dec 2007 7:53pm
@T-Daddy: Thanks T-Daddy, that's a beautiful compliment :)
Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
Nice treatment, the image in sepia kind of fits with the last time I remember it snowing over here - was that about 1965 !! Really, a lovely image of your winter just starting I guess.....but I really wish you could send some snow over here, I have only a few snow pictures, as we only got about an inch of it last year, and it was gone by mid-morning.
18 Dec 2007 12:58am
@Richard_Irwin: Oh Richard, would if I could, we've already had a winter's worth of snowfall LOL 1965, hey? I like that!!! Thanks a lot :)

Wolfgang Prigge from Granby, Québec, Canada
Est-ce que c'était durant la tempête de hier? Elle était une vrai...
18 Dec 2007 2:47am
@Wolfgang Prigge: Sans farce, wow quelle tempete!! Mais non, celle-ci était de la semaine dernière lOL
Rebecca from Leicester, United Kingdom
WOW. As friends above have observed already, the sepia does make this an outstandingly ruminative piece (as opposed to all light and fluffy), dear lady. And hmmmmm, I do like that. The epitome of marvellous, imho. :)
18 Dec 2007 9:17am
@Rebecca: ha Rebecca of the sweet comments, that's how Ithink of you now, thanks always :)
amy from Rocky Mountain House, Canada
