Perfect image of a blustery day. I love these cold scenes but hate being in them.

That's a lot of snow ... great atmosphere, but I'm glad I only have to watch the cold :)

The tables heavy with snow (like everything around) look like cakes... and the footprints lead to the background where I'm not sure if I see somebody walking in the path ? Mystery - in white & shadows... And I also like tha tree (what a haircut !) out of the dark treatment... Well done*

Great capture. I love the mood. Makes me appreciate a cup of hot tea even more.

Exquisite winter photo, I love the mood, not to mention your sensational title ;)

This is just beautiful. The tables and benches look spectacular.

Ice will melt eventually and it will be warm again.

Footprints in the snow have each their own tale to tell...
Lovely dark tones and mysterious feeling to this image, which works so well. I love the snow but we rarely see it. Last time was in Sidney BC back in December 2007 when Pat and I ran the length of the jetty by the fish market, conducting a snowball fight! Ha ha
A superb photograph, as always

Love the short poem, with just one intention to it. I guess rain can turn into snow in Vancouver.
8 Dec 2008 11:59am
what a wonderful winter landscape, looks like a very heavy snowfall there, must have been chilly capturing this

Nice quote; this looks like a particularly frigid, cold day.

amazing picture!I would really like to go for a walk there!
8 Dec 2008 8:15pm
It is fantastic, of course snow (in any case for me) but this snow which recovers reality to transform these tables and benches into spaceship as in Star trek, fortunately the steps brings back for me on world Bravo ;)

Fantastic Winter composition. Beautiful ambience and mood.
8 Dec 2008 9:16pm
So amazing how a covering of snow silently transforms the familiar.
8 Dec 2008 11:47pm
Beautiful capture. An early snow? Leaves still falling from the trees...
8 Dec 2008 11:58pm
@Turnbill: Thank you. Well, yes and no. It was an early snow for 2006, but nothing so far this year. I am wanting it to snow so badly that I needed to relive that moment.
strange how the scene can be beautiful and completely uninviting...

Nice work composing this image. Really like the softness of the light and soothing tones throughout.
10 Dec 2008 4:58am
again i love the tone to this.. and the dark contrast
15 Dec 2008 2:07pm
I won't be taking any snow shots --not likely anyway-- but I like the desolate mood in shots like this, with or without it.

@PIXistenz: Thank you for finding this Kris :) I've always felt strongly about this image, and it also brings me to a time of transition in my life, personal and photographically speaking.
You are one great photographer! All combined with great creativity and humanity. I know I've said many times (I think) but never mind repeat ... You are a role model for me! Your pictures are all an incredible strength. So it is with your words! I ask you not leave us! It is a pleasure and a great incentive to follow the "red. " With all my love and admiration Happy New Year full of love and life! Cheers! A hug, Adela
