never! it hovers between 25 and 33 degrees all year round. all we get is sun and rain. EVEN THE RAIN IS WARM. on the downside, there is no hot chocolate. or pretty snow.
A megalithic camera would have to be stationary I think. A sort of stone-built camera obscura- with a stone shutter it would take four men with staves to roll and lever into place.
I like photos no 2 & 4 best. The broken railings and misty houses are so evocative, they remind me of the times it snowed in my childhood. The brightly coloured taxi promising sun and warmth in the midst of the snow is a wonderful juxtaposition.
I just saw this photo on my friends page. I get old photos posted from Shorpy. I immediately thought of you. It's the first indoor shopping mall in the USA - photo taken in 1956. Notice that the one store that is obvious is Woolworth's! (Made me think of your recent post about the company) The mall looks like the ones now, but the people's style of clothing has certainly changed.
You have snow already? Yesterday we had 60 degrees, following a light rain. Weird weather! 25 years ago today we had a snowstorm that was deep enough to cancel Sunday church. Mark Twain said of New England weather that if one does not care for it, one should just wait a minute and it will change. So true.
That true of English weather too. You can go through all four seasons in a single day. Ailz and I were discussing this yesterday- and decided we had the best climate in the world.
I love the sequence of these pictures: two monochrome landscapes - so that I'm peering at them, trying to decide if they are actually in B & W or not - then some points of light (and a green light too, just to prepare the theme) and then bang! it's uniquely Singapore. Brilliant!
I don't understand why the third picture came out blue rather than sepia. I suppose there must have been some subtle shift in the light. Or perhaps it was because by then I was on higher ground and the mist was thinner.
This is what it looks like in My neck of the woods today - except for the colourful taxi.
I love this sequence of photos. Dammit, I HATE snow, but it sure is pretty. It softens landscapes and covers up bad stuff, and makes it look like good stuff.
Tony, these are marvelous. I can't decide--oh, the green car is perfect against the white and the fence, but the bird flying--okay, that is my favorite.

Though, on second thoughts, the older I get the less I enjoy the cold.

I especially like the exotic taxi in the white world.
Raining here.

It's much milder here. We just had rain.

It's thawing now- which is really rather a shame.

And then freeze and become dangerous.

How far across the UK does the snow extend?
It's very very cold for Seville. I think a good part of Europe is in an arctic grip.

The snow isn't across the whole country, but I believe there's a lot of it about.

I had to stamp my foot to get that crow to take off. :)

The sun is shining today. Very pretty too- sun on snow- but somehow not as photogenic as yesterdays's mist.
