I decided to try and get some shot in the snow today. One way or another, it's hard for me to get good snow shots. It goes like this:
When it's snowy, I tend to stay in and wait it out till it thaws. When it has thawed. of course it is too late. So today, I decided to take the initiative and dig myself out in order to go out and take some pictures.
I got as far as the graveyard over the road from our house.
Nevertheless, I managed to get a couple of pleasing shots. The sun helped. I do think there is something slightly magical about a covering of snow.
Nice shots, Andy. I like the b/w.

What part of the USA are you from, Tom? Do yuo get much snow?

I'm from Michigan, which gets quite a bit of snow. Living presently in Detroit, a sprawling mess of concrete and industry, scenery isn't much to look at or photograph.
But on the western side of Michigan, where I grew up, is very pretty. Especially during the winter. Lake Michigan lakeshore is pretty in a way I've rarely seen elsewhere.

I like this second picture very much Andy. The path running left to right...the large shadow under the trees...the smaller shaped shadows in the snow...and the gravestones like lurking figures in the background. Very nice composition and very pleasing shot. Thank you.
PS - Sorry I forgot to call you yesterday at 4pm about the Anti Virus. It was in my diary but I forgot to look. Classic mistake. How fickle am I eh?
