Mestia, Feb. 21, 2011

I took all 3 of these on my way home from International Mother Language Day, which we celebrated in Svan at Domink's school, No 2, in grand style - most of it his own doing.
Top 2 - minimalist snow and fence.
Bottom - yes, this overhang of snow and ice is high enough, and heavy enough, to kill if you're standing under it when it falls.  One of many in Mestia.

Winter, Spring Lake, Alberta, Jan. 1, 2011

Just frost on windows, nothing fancy.  But it never fails to thrill me with its endless detail, a different world.

Winter Olymics 2020...?

New Year's Day 2011 at my niece & nephew's place, near Edmonton, Canada - their husky dogs, rarin' to go with snowboarders attached.  A new sport is born?!  Slow shutter speeds and panning to blur the background but stay with the action as much as possible.
