Carl Weese said...: Ah, looks as cold as it is here. We've been in the single digits (F) at night for a week now. Daytime temperatures may reach the freezing point in a few days though.

I like the b&w treatment for the snow scenes. But I've yet to come up with a b&w conversion for my color digital captures that I can live with.; 02 February, 2010 00:12
Tash said...: Ha-ha! Been fishing in the warmer waters?
Gorgeous scene.; 02 February, 2010 06:52

Pine forests in the snow are so much more romantic.; 02 February, 2010 11:34

Good fishing?
Well, good images!; 02 February, 2010 14:18
Martina said...: Alvaro, in fact I know someone you wears sandals and no socks at this time of year, :-S. I really do hope the weather in Spain is a little bit more comfortable right now. Thanks.

Carl, as I (wisely ;-)) postulated my motto as "no fussing around" I can live with these (con-)versions - nothing for prints etc., but with this low resolution blogger format I can live with them - most of the times ... .

Tash, more like dreaming of warmer waters.

Joan Elizabeth, yes, the day before yesterday I thought there must be a German quote sometimes (it's the second one I think in this blog) since of course I am reading German books as well. But do not put this in Google translate - I did it - gave me headaches, ;-) The beach? Where it is? As I said to Tash: dreaming of warmer waters (wind, rain, 1 °C, clouds).

donnie, I will think of this when building my next snowman!

ana barata, thank you. Not that much fishing, though.; 02 February, 2010 22:08
Joan Elizabeth said...: Actually I did try Google translate on the day the quote appeared ... couldn't make sense of it.; 03 February, 2010 10:46

Martina said...: Joan Elizabeth, I can try: "It was his heaven that arched over the earth" (hm, sounds wrong - I am at a loss). It's the old emperor Franz Joseph I of Austria thinking - looking out of the window in the morning.

Serge, merci beaucoup mon ami.; 04 February, 2010 21:24
