A Community Picture Thread - #4

Took this today with my phone. We made a snowman outside and my daughter was so excited!

[StarX]

Nice pic!

It's funny to see that kids have much less trouble dealing with the cold than us grown ups. As a kid I could play outside in the snow for hours: throwing snowballs and building snowmen and iglo's. Now I just want to get inside as soon as possible and watch my step everywhere so I don't drop on my butt.

one of the down sides of aging,comfort and safety vs fun.

[WillieSea]

That looks good to me Nihternnes! Although, I usually shrink my pictures way down before I upload them.

HEYWAITNO, you're not even OLD ENOUGH to buy me a drink! Not in the US, anyway.

Your starting point is cheating!

[WillieSea]

Very good donnato... I can only hope I am allowed to make a Breton.

Curiously bright night sky thanks to our curiously rare snow here in Oxford. The camera's probably made this image look a little brighter than it is, but not by an enormous amount; it was taken at 8pm, and considering the sun set more than four hours previously...

I can't imagine a more beautiful picturesque setting. Just gorgeous.

Thank you. The perfectionist part of me wanted to complain I'd got the colour balance slightly wrong, but the common-sense part made a rare appearance and said that perhaps I should be a bit more appreciative of what's on my doorstep!

Edit: one of which is Bagley Wood of Tolkien fame, literally a few minutes walk from our house. Agoraphobic or not, I should really try to make it there before the snow melts...

wow, for 8pm, even with snow that seems really bright.

mind you I live on a farm with no outside sources of light so maybe not that unusual when you include snow.

It looks lovely all the same.

[vometia]

Yeah, the sky was a bit more orange than that! But I hadn't realised it's also a full(-ish) moon, which probably explains some of the brightness.

Unusually chilly tonight too, possibly as low as -17 centigrade, which may be small potatoes to Nordic countries but it's unusual for the middle of England. It'd be nice if it means the snow might last until Christmas: even when it was a more frequent visitor to these parts, it always managed to miss Christmas, annoyingly.

[WillieSea]

Wow, thats a lot of light pollution! City lights will do that when its snowing.

[Glaedr]

Hey Khett, you're, what? 19, right?

[Si-Shen]

Snow for x-mas is always nice, I would guess that around here its going to hover between -20C and -15C most of the week.

Of course Environment Canada wants to dissagree with me and say it will only be -3 to -13C all week long.

Atleast its going to be snowy during the week, I will try to get some nice shots of it around here if it is
