DON'T GO OUT THERE
I was thinking about doing the city lights but not exactly this way. My daughter told me I look like a big bear in the snow. So here it is: Bierdna by the great Swedish folk-fusion group Hedningarna. Never heard? Go and check them out (hint: YouTube) but stay away from the Remix Project.

I love the tiny yellow light amidst all that whiteness.
Once I have the sound back on my pc I will definately check out this folkband. I love folkfusion.

A small yellow beacon in a near whiteout!

I really like this, the bleakness of it. The light really makes a difference there.

I love Swedish music. :) Are you from Sweden? Not many people outside Sweden really listen consciously to Swedish music.

Unless they listen to Abba of course!

Yes, this is a very bleak picture with just that little splash of colour. Effectively shot.

But you did go out in it and just to get this image?
Wow, lookie at all the snow on the cars, just amazing!!!

OMG OMG you got it while it's actually snowing. I love snow shots, but ones where you can see the snow falling are my favorites.

That snow sure looks like it is making life difficult. I am glad you are still getting guidance for when it is safe to cross!

The small glimmer of warm light in the middle of all that cold really works well. This is a great image with a lot of mood and atmosphere. Well done.

I would have had to change it to a red light but is a beautiful image. I love desaturated images with a splash of color. Well done.

Your photo is very inviting. Simply lovely walking weather for a human, a bear or such a combination! Is there a small tilt to the left in your photo or is the tree creating that illusion? Loved the Swedish folklore.

I'm listening to the band now and it sounds very finnish to me. Perhaps they have roots in the finnish community in Sweden?
