Winter Wood

So we finally got some snow this week and I was quick enough to get out there with the, er, camera phone, sorry, and get these snaps just a few minutes' walk from Embra's city centre. Enjoy.

  1. Very scenic.

    Snow looks nice in pictures, but I'd sooner not deal with it in reality.

  6. IBM - You need to sort of uncross your eyes and stand on your head...

    Liz - I love the reality of snow. Especially the après-ski.

    #Debi - And you can hardly see where I painted out the path and the second lantern.

    Taffeta - Got it in one! Glad you made it back in one piece, I was getting worried there.

    Laura - Snow is soft and fluffy and warm like cotton wool. And it tastes like cotton candy. Yum!

    BOSSY - Aw, fanx! *blushes*

    John - You noticed? Well done that man!

    Ché - I forgot to paint out the lampshade on the second lantern. So sue me.

  7. I tried to comment on this last night, but I was stuck in the town of Truckee in the Sierra Nevada Mountains because I went up there for a meeting and they closed Interstate 80 due to accidents and snow and the only internet access I had was my BlackBerry, because, even though the motel I stayed in had internet access, I didn't take my computer because I wasn't supposed to be there overnight, and apparently I can read blogs (sort of), but not comment on them with it, so I couldn't comment on yours *deep breath*

    Nice photos! Very Artsy Fartsy.

  8. I can't stand on my head. Could you do it for me? And I've only got one eye.

    'So sue me' Is this another blog of yours Farty?

  11. A lamp post in the middle of nowhere? I didn't realise Embra was in Narnia.

  12. Laurie - I can't comment on Blogger from my moby either. It's far more frustrating than being snowed in. I expect.

    IBM - Never heard of him.

    Sew - Embra is the prettiest place in the world. I'd like to live there.

    Jacki - Me too.

    Z - We even have our own lion and everything, dead exciting!

  13. Oooooh. That's masterful work with a camera phone. I'm a very intelligent woman but a big freaking 'tard with a camera. DAMMIT.

    What a beautiful place you live in.

  14. Lesley - Half the skill lies in taking hundreds of photos and discarding the 99% that are crap.
    The other half is PaintShopPro.

  15. It's nice that you're able to get (pictures of) so much wood in such cold weather.
