Ha! Lucky you... we (here in Paris) didn't have any snow this year...
Zero snowball throwing :-)

@eric festinger: Thank you Eric. Actually, we have had no snow here this year either. I had to go digging through the archives to get snow. The winter here (so far) has been strangely warm and so much rain :/
Truly beautiful !
I wish you a magnificent New Year with much much great pictures, as yours.....

Love seeing how snow silently transforms a landscape . . it is so complete.

This picture and the title of it reminds me of a book by Kate Mosse (observe the last 'e'), 'The winter ghosts'. It is a ghost story staged in the Pyrenees and it gives about the same feeling as this picture.

ce n'est pas dans mon Anjou que je risque de faire ce style de photos enneigées

Beautifully decorated trees and a very sweet contrast level in the shot.

A stunning winter scene full of wonderful tones and textures! Nicely captured Sharon! ;-)

Absolutely beautiful mono--such a gorgeous range of tones. When we arrived in New Brunswick two weeks ago we were greeted by a snowfall much like this one. Sadly it was gone by morning (along with my chance to shoot it) and it's been pretty much green/brown around here ever since. Maybe there will be some mountain snow when I get back to California.

@Being In Focus: Thank you Christopher. You need to head over to Ontario...I hear they are getting a snowfall and cold temperatures. We've not had any snow here this year, and I've had to dig into the archives (for this shot) to have a winter.
Such a lovely winter scene, and an excellent B&W.

I can hear the quiet....a beautifully peaceful and serene scene.

The silence is overwhelming, Sharon. As is the white. No snow this year round here. But this beauty of yours makes me feel & smell the wintry feel. So beautiful!
All the best & safe travels, Fritsch.

I love how proud they are standing up, so fresh & calm, we should try the same, they open the path with their luminous attitude, superb monochrome with rich blacks & whites, S*

ou lorsque la nature a cette presence d esprit si particuliere de s habiller elle meme en fonction des saisons et de son humeur, superbe cliché sharon ;)

Gorgeous winter scene, Sharon. Like the snow covered branches and the lovely pristine snow. Great capture!

Wonderful artistry in B&W. A lovely tale you've told us.

so jealous .... no snow here .... I think we're gonna slide right into spring ....
9 Jan 2012 3:55am
Like how the snow redraws every branch, beautiful !

A nice exercise in grey tonality. I guess that the snow will arrive eventually - and out-stay it's welcome as per usual...cynical old man or what!

I like very much the way the snow underlines the silhouette of trees. Very attractive BW.
Have a nice day.
