Beautiful. The green is really subtle in all that snow.

@e.: Hi e. that was my exact thought, I thought the mellow green of the house and the slight hint of green on the tree made the photo, thanks a lot ;)

tyan from Singapore, Singapore
This is really very nice!The green is so subtle and inviting!How do you take such shot i wonder?It must be very cold!I wonder when spring is coming?
20 Feb 2008 7:08am
@tyan: Hi Tyan, isn't it though? it's on my way to the garage, to tell them my care broke down, see a good thing came from a bad, I had to walk to the garage and it was blowing snow and cold and totally worth it for this photo ;)
@Saeed: Thanks a lot Saeed :)
@Daroru: Thanks a lot Daroru, there are beautiful houses around that corner :)
Koushiro from Singapore, Singapore
Great shot! Although.... the word green isn't really what i would use..... yet, the word white is a little inappropriate too.. ^^
20 Feb 2008 9:23am
@Koushiro: Thanks a lot Koushiro, take my word for it, this is the most green I've seen in 3 months, except of course on AM3 ;)
Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
You had a one day reprieve and now it's snowing again. This time, against the WONDERFULLY soft GREEN!
I love the way the snow adheres to the tree trunks, showing which direction the snow was blowing.
BEAUTIFUL!!!
20 Feb 2008 9:23am
@Judy: Thanks so much Judy, my car breaking down was a real good thing, and more importantly I never leave the house without my cam ;)
GJC from Kyoto, Japan
Another beautiful winter image. I like the limited number of colors here, especially in the house. As always, you winter pictures are magical.
20 Feb 2008 9:36am
@GJC: That's a beautiful compliment GJC, thanks so much :)
Betty from United States
This is an absolutely beautiful shot, Lorraine. You just keep "outdoing" yourself! I love the hint of green in all that white! Very nice.
20 Feb 2008 10:39am

Japanalia from Yokohama, Japan
Oh,my! You're again in fairyland!And... it snows, it snows on the city....those trees have such elegant silhouettes, I'm waiting for them to start waltzing...such a wonderful atmosphere, even the street lamps look stylish. Are you sure this is a shot in the 21st century?
20 Feb 2008 11:45am
@Japanalia: You never know Gabriela I was kind of transported by the image, who knows what century I might have ended up with...you know, those darn time loops ;) Thanks as always!
@Laurent: Bonjour Laurent, merci beaucoup :)
ManuelaR from Hainburg, Germany
Awesome beautiful! How long will you still have snow?
20 Feb 2008 12:43pm

Ron from Saint Louis, Missouri, United States
A storybook setting, Lorraine. I googled Gatineau to see just exactly where all that snow was falling. Just across the river from Ottawa, but in a different province, eh?
20 Feb 2008 2:16pm
@Ron: Spot on Ron, across the river into Québec (the Province, not the City), thanks so much :)
@Ina: Very nice Ina thanks a lot :)

Calusarus from St Sorlin en Valloire, France
Impressive. Maybe too sharp on the lamp, and less on the green house, but really a beautiful house shot.

standley from brou-sur-chantereine, France
Beautyful picture. The subtle green seems to be there to remind us that this is not a B&W shot!
20 Feb 2008 7:17pm
@standley: and thanks for noticing Richard LOL
Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
The shot has a quietness, grand houses, of muted colours, and softened sounds after snowfall, its very nice.
20 Feb 2008 7:37pm
@Richard_Irwin: Wow I like how you wrote that Richard, thanks a lot :)
martie from Okinawa, Japan

Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
You don't really need any more praise for this wonderful scene, Lorraine, as you have sufficient comfirmation already of its worthiness. Nevertheless, here I am to tell you that I think it's an absolutely beautiful image with great colours and atmosphere.
21 Feb 2008 3:55am
@Andrew Gould: I enjoy all my comments Andrew, and certainly enjoyed yours, thanks a lot :)
Stunner from Kingston, Jamaica
Lovely capture! That's a very snowy day, if I was there I would definitely be inside with a cup of warm chocolate with marsh mellows.
21 Feb 2008 5:04am
@Stunner: Hey Stunner, believe me I understand the feeling, but I had to walk as my car died down, something good came out of the walk though ;)
