I really loved those rose photos, Maddie! And the mountain pics were breathtaking. Glad you were able to take a much needed vacation. :nod:

Beautiful pictures, Madhuri - sublime!
I would consider my photography not nearing such talent, but a few weeks ago, Portland had a snowstorm that lasted some 5-6 days; in comparison to some other cities, our snow did not compare quantity-wise, but we feel very unaccustomed to it, especially downtown, where I live. Though it created so much trouble for businesses and traffic, the SW Park Blocks (the district where I live) covered in snow took my breath away.
Note: though they appear so dark, I actually took these pictures somewhere between 1-3 pm.

Those are nmagnificent Mono. The frist especially. :)
I really dig that first pic Mono, those are great.
Mono, your night snow photos are stunning. I love them all, but that first one took my breath away - it looks like a painting with the people silouetted just so....the guy with the umbrella stands out especially. It is funny how in the Lincoln one, you can just tell it is Abe, from the stance of the body. I love it! Because the face is in shadow, it makes it much more interesting. I love how the snow flakes appear as globes or white specks in your photos; they almost look like those ghost orbs people claim are spirits. Did you use a tripod to take these? Good job capturing the mood of a late night snowfall.
Thanks everyone :D
Those are great pics, Mono :) Loved the first one :)
Hey, nice to see you are posting again. Welcome back! :wave:
Some more pictures from the trip
A church; its about 150 yrs old, and said to have some French influence in the architecture. We couldnt see it from inside, as it was closed by the time we reached there.

Good work there Maddie. :thumbs_up Those misty mountains are absolutely enchanting...
Mono: Great snowy pictures. It's hard to get good pictures of falling snow.

Thanks, everyone. I consider myself far from a photographer, and lacking a lot of talent where Madhuri obviously excels; I wished I could have gotten more pictures, but had to work a lot during those days. :(
A dove at a church, what a wonderful thing. Very nice pictures Maddie. One never associates Christianity with Inda, but my boss is from India and he's Roman Catholic.
Here's what I called an honest advertiser! Or perhaps, it was merely a typo :D
My friend adopted penguins from London zoo. It happens that there are 4 of them and in my team room at work, there are 4 of us (including me). So we gave names to the penguins and the naming was based on our heights :D:D (the smallest penguin is named after me because I'm the smallest compare to my other 3 colleagues)
Have you checked the sex of the peguins to be sure if you are giving them correct gender names? :DQuote:
