MERRY CHRISTMAS
Like many I am always dreaming of a White Christmas.
This morning here in Utah there was snow on the ground when I awoke!!!
It's still a bit warm so it's not sticking very well but ... still I'll take it for a successful white christmas. My sister also go snow over in Oregon.
Instead of putting on a coat and shoes walking outside in the cold to get a picture in the dim still snowing weather in a back yard... so i did something different.
THE MAKING OF A SNOW COLLECTION
I decided to go through 15 years of pictures finding snow pictures
... Then I found ones that weren't just distant snow on the mountains.
... Then I found my favorite really snowy shots.
... Then I culled the collection down to 20 for my website
... And finally here are the images I want to share for you.
This picture of Truckee California feels the most like Christmas to me.
How about for you?
SNOW is connected to mountains for so many of us... i'm no exception... props if you can say where each of these locations is... or country/state.
If you're on https://steempeak.com you can click it to view these images large... very important for a panorama.
One of my favorite places is lake blanche and the second image of this post is of the same location... i share that one so much that I've never even edited this shot and shared it. But here we go.
Finally I'd like to dedicate this to my sister and other siblings in Oregon that are enjoying the snow without me this Christmas morn. This is the road I would take to Klamath Falls Oregon. It's a 12+ hr drive and sometimes if i'm towing and tired it's more of a 24hr+ trip for me. But it's such an interesting drive because it goes through some of the most desolate land in America.
This scene makes me think of home and family and my Mom this being our first christmas without both of them.
This road is where if you get lucky you may see the wild horses running by in the snow... a very distinct scene to the very calming scene of watching the Amish pick up their children from school on a cold winter afternoon.
