Here's my attempt. This was a lot of fun to do, but does it work?
I feel it's kinda limited by the 800 px limit, but I guess that can't be helped really.

Penny for your thoughts!

    The picture is great fun! (I guess living where you do you kinda have to love snow!!!)

    My only question: why the pole in the foreground lower right? Having seen your "mental process" in threads before I feel sure you had a reason, but I can't figure out what it was.... headscratch.gif

    Without snow there is only wet, dark bleakness (it looks like this). You learn to love snow in an instant :D

    The pole, um, anxiousness to enter the picture? It was a nice little dead space filler just before the final crop...

    The snow was a bit dry for snowballs, hence no proper snowmen either, but did have the idea of throwing a few at..ahem.. just past the camera - I flew through the shoot so fast I forgot rolleyes1.gif

    Good riddance to the pole & it makes room for some more of you. This is a lot of fun! It would be cool (pun?) to see a couple of you interacting directly with each other as Aaron has suggested. Very nice as is tho.

    Naked men running in the snow require access to a sauna. The nearest facility to the location I used is a trotting race track... And I'm not crazy enough to run there...

    Hmmm.....no hedgehogs, though. headscratch.gif The fire was INSIDE the sauna, so I guess that will have to do. Where's pemmett? He'd love this. :D

    But at least the naked men are CLEAN! rolleyes1.gif

    I wonder if Spiny Norman would like to pose for a picture.

    Ooh! Ooh! Naked man, running away from a 800 yard long hedgehog blowing rings of fire from it's nostrils. Now there's a project to do. Emily if you're reading this I need a theme for that - in the summer!

    Only if he's running down train tracks .... :lol4

    So the theme would have to be "Wildlife or locomotion - yours to interpret freely."rolleyes1.gifroflrolleyes1.gif

    It was a gracefully aged stubby out of bounds marker for frisbee golf - some say it now haunts the originals. Story goes if you really look for it in exifs, you can still see it :D
