It must have been about 30 years ago that I wrote the following haiku-like thought in my journal as I watched the snow come down:
“Snowfall. Silent action.”
Unless the snow is icy and verging on sleet, it is quite silent as it falls, thus my observation. Over this weekend, all of us in this Puget Sound region have had the opportunity to contemplate the silence of snow fall. And from the news going ’round, we’ll have that opportunity for the next couple of days as they forecast up to 15 inches of snow!
My first image here was as the snow was silently falling, obscuring any view of Puget Sound, Vashon Islands and certainly the Olympic Mountains. As the snow ceased, the sky cleared and became more dramatic above the snowy landscape.
Gorgeous. And I want to learn how to make those cool borders (on your pics)!
I don’t generally like “gimmicks” but I shot those with the Camera+ app on my iPhone. It offers some photo effect options. (Does it qualify as a gimmick? I don’t know…)
