@Observing: Zeer tijdelijk. Eergisteren een onverwacht dik pak. Gisteren was alles al weer weg. En vandaag is het gewoon herfst. Tot ziens.
@Zing: Thanks. See you.
@Cia: Her it was only for one day! Today all landscape is again in autumn-style.
Thanks for your comment and visit. See you again.
Ronnie 2¢ from London, United Kingdom
We had a rare touch of snow in London this week but I have come to accept the increasing blurring of our seasons here. This is a charming reminder of how things once were.

@Ronnie 2¢: It'the same with us. Ther was a lot of snow for one day. Yesterday it was all gone. And today we have a relatively nice weather. Seasons?!
Thanks for your comment and visiting.
@Cheryl: No the snow and frost are over. Today it's a ordinary autumn day . Bye.
Alaukika from Pune, India
That's a very lovely texture you've created out of snow and tree. Brilliant shot!!!
25 Nov 2008 2:08pm
@Alaukika: I'm glad you are the first one who is reacting on the structure. That was the purpose of my ('abstract') photo. Thanks for the compliment and see you again.
Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
Snow on branches is beautiful and hypnotic.
25 Nov 2008 2:21pm
@Michael Skorulski: Especially in such a tangle.
Thanks for visit and comment.
Earnest from Oklahoma, United States
Reminds me of last year in my location except it was ice!
25 Nov 2008 2:28pm

Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Wonderul image. I like very much the framing/composition. Branches, snow... a hyerogliphic to look at many times. It looks also like a b/w Pollock
25 Nov 2008 4:35pm
@Paco Díaz: I like your in substance comment. It is indeed a B&W, was it yet almost.
Thanks for compliment and visit.

Thanks for visiting. See you again.
@Dhini: Dank je wel, tot ziens.
@Ana Lúcia: Thank you for your compliment. Bye.
Pixim from Nice, France
Beautiful photo covered with snow, I like the abstracted side from the scene, colors disappear, the white becomes a king, they do not stay more than lines which draw a still present world, under the coat of the winter Bravo ;)
25 Nov 2008 6:50pm
@Pixim: Thank you very much for your extensive comment. That is what I meant by the picture: a graphical picture in B&W, abstract, only play of lines.
See you again. Bye.
Nilla from County Östergötland, Sweden
I can see that you have got some snow too. This tree is a jumble of branches. Nice captured.
25 Nov 2008 6:58pm
@Nilla: We have got snow, quite a lot, but only for one day. After a day it was all gone!
I tried to make this picture as a sort of graphical painting.
Thanks for the comment and visit. See you. Bye.
Jose Antonio from Barcelona, Spain
¡Que Friiio! En Barcelona para poder verla te has de desplazar a la montaña. Gracias por tu visita y comentario.
25 Nov 2008 7:09pm
@Jose Antonio: (I can understand but a little bit of Spanish). The snow was here in whole Holland, but only for one day. Thereafter it was gone.
Thanks for your visit. Bye.
@Alun Lambert: Thanks for comment and visit. Bye.
manel from Girona, Spain
Perfecto entramado y buen "ojo". No todos hubieramos hecho esta foto. Enhorabuena.
Un saludo.
25 Nov 2008 7:17pm
@manel: (I understand only a little bit of Spanish). Thanks for the compliment. See you again.
PeterFH from Gothenburg, Sweden
Very nice winter scene, good to see that others than we here in the north have got a taste of winter.
25 Nov 2008 7:34pm
@PeterFH: The snow lasted only for one day. Yesterday is was totally gone again.
Thanks for your compliment.
Charles from New York, United States
Beautiful shot. Nice winter scene. I like how it fills the entire picture.
25 Nov 2008 8:07pm
@Charles: I'm glad you like the filling composition.
Thanks for comment and visit. See you.
@Moreno: Good advise. I have tried that, but then I lose the graytones in the snow and it becomes almost two-tone graphical. Is possible. I'll try it another time.
Thanks for your comment and visit. See you again.
Graham Russon from Cape Town, South Africa
Nice shot, I like the depth of it, which is only apparent after you stare at it for a while.
25 Nov 2008 8:51pm
@Graham Russon: It works a little bit hypnotic, isn't it.
Thanks for comment and visit. See you again.
@mo.langel: Thank you for the compliment. See you again.
kerfendal from Paris, France
nice pic of something we have rarely the possibility to see : the snow
25 Nov 2008 9:02pm
@kerfendal: Indeed it's nowadays rare. This snow was only for ONE day.
Thanks for comment and visit. Bye.
Paul van der Meer from Valkenswaard, Netherlands
Grafisch en indrukwekkend, zou hem ook weleens in het zwart-wit willen zien! Groeten, Paul
25 Nov 2008 9:20pm
@Paul van der Meer: Pssst: hij is al in zwart wit, maar het maakt nauwelijks verschil met het origineel.
Het contrast zou nog wat hoger kunnen, maar dan wordt hij volledig grafisch ZW. Is wel iets voor te zeggen. Gr. Alphons.
Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
Stark, desolate looking. Wonderful idea for a composition.
25 Nov 2008 10:17pm
@Andrew Gould: Thanks for comment and visiting. Bye.
Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United States
Aw man, now I know how people get lost in the snow because after staring at it for a while, everything looks black and white. Good shot, Al.
25 Nov 2008 10:22pm
@Howard F.: I had trouble to find my own house after making this photo. {;-)
Thanks for comment and visit. Bye.

What a tangle! Great shot :)

Monique from Koh Samui, Thailand
De structuur van de takken komt nog mooier tot zijn recht met zo'n laagje sneeuw erover! Jammer dat het maar van korte duur was ;)
27 Nov 2008 5:25pm
@Monique: Het was kort en ... nat. (Nogal natte sneeuw die bleef vallen). Na een uurtje ploeteren zelf ook behoorlijk nat. Maar met een paar, vind ik zelf, aardige foto's ( er komen er nog een paar). En daar heb je wat voor over, toch!
Bedankt en tot ziens.
Peter Knoop from Antwerp, Belgium
Heel leuke compositie. Jullie hebben dus ook sneeuw gehad. Hier was ie gesmolten voor ik mijn camera kon bovenhalen :-(
27 Nov 2008 8:54pm
@Peter Knoop: Dank je. Ook hier was het maar voor één dag. Hardlopen om wat foto's te maken. En nat worden van de vrij natte sneeuw. En dan moet je nog voorzichtig zijn met de camera omdat het blijft sneeuwen. Nu is het weer gewoon herfst. Tot ziens.
shadebox from Budapest, Hungary
