A field of snow is much like a desert...complete with mirages.
The trees looked spooky, silhouetted by the street lamps and blowing snow.
And this is what the blizzard really looked and felt like.
Morning after shots coming up next...

Getting Hammered...Again
No, not that way (unfortunately)...getting hammered by another snowstorm today and into the night. This time not a blizzard but a winter storm. The difference? The storm brings not only snow but freezing rain, ice pellets, rain, and back to snow and freezing rain, carried on strong winds. Needless to say, I haven't been out to take pictures, but here are a few from the night of the blizzard last week...I assure you it looks much the same tonight.
Back door window.
Arty shot. I bought that vase when I was in art school in 197-something from a pottery student and have been carting it with me on all my cross-country moves ever since.

Your snowy night shots are very artsy.. much like your vase.
ReplyDeleteI love using the label "artsy" to apply to my bad photos! Very forgiving term.
DeleteOo-Ah-Oo-Ah... :) Delightful photos, esp the vase shot! Very artistic indeed! The top photo reminds me of looking out the space shuttle window, although I've never been there :) And the tree photo is so mysterious it draws me into it... Hope you weather the storm...
ReplyDeleteHow's your snow-envy doing? Hope these shots didn't make you break out in an ice-cold sweat or develop patches of snow-flaky skin!
DeleteHa-Ha! No, just swooning :)
DeleteOh, yes, that vase shot looks like a surrealist dream. (Are those cottony clouds in a black sky????) Lovely. Can't wait to see the morning after!
ReplyDeleteWinter in these parts seems altogether too much like a surrealist nightmare to me! At least I can amuse myself with a few "artsy" photos.
DeleteMy husband who talks to many Canadian motorcyclists on-line goes on about your storms, now I get the picture, LOVE them all! The vase too.
ReplyDeleteThe winter storms bring out another form of motorcycle--the snowmobile! I used to like being a passenger on a motorbike but you'd never get me on a snowmobile. I'm glad if I shed a little light for you on what an eastern Canadian winter looks like.
DeleteAnd I was annoyed because I had to wear a jacket when I headed out to take photos at the beach yesterday...silly me ;)
ReplyDeleteOuch!
DeleteGreat images of a yucky storm..
ReplyDeleteI wonder how things are over on your side of the Bay...It's still blowing like crazy here today. Won't be venturing out to get any photos; would really need a video camera to catch the dance of the blowing snow. Whirling dervish dance!
Deletethe photographs are beautiful but glad I don't have to deal with that weather!!
ReplyDeleteI go over to your blog to rest my eyes from snow-blindness.
Deletethis is a wonderful wonderful post... i am totally in love with that vase-photo, it is amazing, it looks like an illustration from a fairy-tale book to me, maybe Snow Queen by Andersen :-) wow, i can't get enough of these windows and these shadows and this glittering snow (you know me! :-p)
ReplyDeleteOh wonderful thought, the vase picture as a fairy tale illustration. The Snow Queen's jar of cotton puffs exploding with the desire to become snowflakes and fly through the sky? Whenever I have rather abstract photos and I hesitate to post them I think to myself, "But Roxana might like them."
Delete:-D
Admit, that I surely would not be able to sleep as sight's way too alluring. What a dream to live.
ReplyDeleteI imagine you even going out to walk through the swirling snow, Robert. The roar of the wind certainly draws me to the window to watch the strength of the storm and the quiet of the streets...as well as the occasionally passing snow plough. But I wouldn't mind sleeping right through such a winter.
DeleteEn tout cas, ça fait de belles photos!
ReplyDeleteImagine toi donc que j'aurai aimé voir ça!
