@Linerberry: and I remember doing the same thing, now I'm more like the lady to the left....although I don't take the bus lol
tyan from Singapore, Singapore

@tyan: Yep, but then I did the same thing once ;) thanks a lot Tyan!
arlene from United States
This is so ripe with imagined inner thoughts. The woman and girl don't seem like they'd talk to each other. I wonder what they are thinking.

@arlene: Thanks for you wonderful comment, I often wonder what someone's thinking and know deep down that I don't want to know :)
Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
Waiting for a bus perhaps? The older sensible lady with her groceries eyeing the young gal so caught up in the snow and the music that she is listening too. Wonderful character shot Lorraine.

@Marion: Thanks for the beautiful compliment Marion :)

Paco Díaz from Spain
Good winter street scene and very well illuminated.
I like the combination of the two women, each one in a very different posture.
Cheers!

@k@: good girl, it'll keep you warm ;) thanks a lot k!

4 Jan 2009 10:46am
@Betty: Thanks a lot Betty, I appreciate it ;)
@Khorshid.~: Thanks a lot Khorshid :)
Craig from Vacaville, California, United States

4 Jan 2009 11:15am

António Pires from Lisbon, Portugal

standley from Carquefou, France
Génial Lorraine. Encore une belle scène de vie que tu as su croquer au bon moment!

JJ from Jersey City, United States
LOL wonder if she is wishing she had more layers on and is dancing to keep warm
4 Jan 2009 12:22pm
@JJ: That would be a great idea lol thanks a lot JJ :)
Hans from Heiligeneich, Austria
;-) great catch, dancing in the couldnes ist the perfect way to get wormer
4 Jan 2009 12:33pm
@Hans: You are absolutely right Hans ;) thanks very much!
grouser from Ludlow, United Kingdom
Looks a bit like the Mashed Potato to me.
Or is it the twist?
4 Jan 2009 12:55pm
@grouser: LOL funny guy mashed potato, lo too good ;)
Barbara from Florida, United States
Excellent capture. My thoughts are that someday the young girl will be in the older woman's shoes, responsibilities, groceries, dressing to keep warm. While the older woman says I never dressed like that, what's wrong with the youngsters these days, and I walked 3 miles to school!
4 Jan 2009 1:17pm
@Barbara: lol Oh yeah I've been to the right, now I'm the left...ahhh life's like that, thanks so much Barb
Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Makes me smile. I usually dance that way when the door to a rest stop is locked from the inside and I'm still outside. Heh.
4 Jan 2009 1:34pm
@Viewfinder: LOL you're too funny Vf, I dance for all kinds of reasons... thanks always :)
Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
A pretty girl. It's got to be cold waiting. You've captured well the irritation, Lorraine.
4 Jan 2009 1:44pm
@Michael Skorulski: Thanks Michael, I think you've hit it right on target ;)
Ronnie 2¢ from London, United Kingdom
The generation gap never narrows . . it just moves along a little bit !
4 Jan 2009 2:27pm
@Ronnie 2¢: LOL nicely put Ronnie, thanks a lot ;)
Cheryl from Texas, United States
LOL, perfect title!! nice street scene! I see iPods are there in Canada also :-)
4 Jan 2009 3:14pm
@Cheryl: Thanks so much Cheryl, they're every where lol ;)
Janice Thomson from Canada
A really neat shot Lorraine - love this! Such a look of concentration - wonder what the other lady was thinking....
Kids can definitely dress lighter than we practical adults :)
4 Jan 2009 3:38pm
@Janice Thomson: and we've done both...amazing how not cold we are when we're young, or so we've convinced ourselves lol thanks m'dear
Michael Rawluk from Williams Lake, BC, Canada
I used to work midnight shift years ago and on my way home there would be girls walking to school wearing mini-skirts at -30.
4 Jan 2009 6:06pm
@Michael Rawluk: Isn't that weird....did it warm you up? lol
Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
Cute ... anything to keep those tootsies warm, I guess!
4 Jan 2009 6:11pm
@Judy: Dance, dance, dance lol I'd rather wear pants ;)
@Jasp: Next lfe, I'm picking somewhere warmer :)
Photographs by M.E. from Tustin, United States
and the Apple iPod lives... survives the cold, cold weather!
That's not a rain dance she's doing, right? :)
4 Jan 2009 6:53pm
@Photographs by M.E.: Now that would be a very smart thing to do, and i guess it's working, well Canadian way, we're getting freezing rain tonight, I guess her dance wasn't frenetic enough ;)
Lesley from Lincoln, United States
I agree with Liners! Where is this girl's hat and gloves?!?! Brrrrr.
4 Jan 2009 7:39pm
Richard_Irwin from Belper, United Kingdom
Best to keep moving in that snow. I hope she got a round of applause for her dance.
4 Jan 2009 9:17pm
alex centrella from California, United States

Pixim from Nice, France
Elle danse vraiment ? si oui je la comprend en effet j'aime battre de la semelle lorsque le froid me tenaille, et en plus c'est cool de voir des personnes spontanées dans un endroit où la surveillance est de mise. j'aime beaucoup aussi l'opposition de style, sac à dos contre sac en plastiques porté à bout de bras. très bon shoot de rue ;)
