Crème glacée

Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
It's a beautiful composition, Lorraine, and I like the house front beside the shop. It looks like there is no need for ice cream now but I think many people would enjoy one even in winter.

@Michael Skorulski: Thanks a lot Michael, it gets its share of business in the summer, but the way it's made and opened would discouraged the hardiest ice cream lover (unless he or she were on a diet lol)
Hans from Heiligeneich, Austria

@Hans: Hans, 'cause it's not heated...but it does a lot of business in summer, Austrians are very smart ;)
@Ina: Thanks a lot Ina, I appreciate it :)

Ron from Saint Louis, United States
Looks like a shot right of a Christmas village scene with its green fanciful painting. And, of course, the falling snow adds a nice touch. Very nice!

You should have warmed up with an ice-cream Lorraine......
Very oldie-worldie scene, and I like the flecks of falling snow.

amy from Rocky Mountain House, Canada
I like the warmth to it... yes, warmth. It has a great look to it with the snow hanging like icing and that old world feeling/charm but also (this is the warmth part) it retains that summer feeling. BUT the simile of the snow and ice cream... priceless.

@isabel: You're right, kinda like Hansel and Gretel without snow lol Thanks so much!

Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
Terrific capture, Lorraine ... the floating snowflakes against the dark green are so lovely.
Maybe they need to sell hot chocolate at this time of year? <grin>

tyan from Singapore, Singapore
I think of Hansel and Gretel walking up to the edible cottage where the witch lived:) The snow looks like cream and the front door looks like chocolate with malt sticks,LOL.
