One snowy day
Fantastic! I had given up seeing any snow this Christmas, but when I woke up the streets were covered with snow and it was still snowing. You know that certain light that only occurs at dusk on a snowy day... So of course I had to go out and take photos... Quite a contrast to photos I took only couple of days ago.
Now in Canada you'd think that people know how to behave on the streets when it snows. And saying that Canadians know snow would be true - only this doesn't apply to Vancouverites who normally never get any snow. So Dragon tells me half of the people didn't turn up to work today because they were afraid to drive in the snow... We laughed about this with the cashier in Safeway - she was from Newfoundland so she wasn't stranger to the snow either.
Unfortunately I don't think this will last, it's already turning into slush. Still, one snowy day in a winter is better than none.

Reconsider. I make a bad enemy. ;)

Excellent, snow just in time before putting Christmas away. One final present :).
My favourite picture is Footprints, #15.
I must say palm trees covered in snow look down right bizarre.
Other than that, some of the photos remind me of Matinkylä, oddly enough :).

Matinkylä? Yes, I see what you mean :)
Most of the buildings here were built around sixties (like our home), and unfortunately concrete then was in fashion. It's much better when you see it live though ;)
