Great pictures. Now if only it was warm outside instead of freezing when it looked like that.

Well worth braving the cold

Both of these are so nice! It's difficult to get that after sunset afterglow, but you captured it really well and I love the lamp posts!

These are some beauties! I especially like the lamp posts.

Brrrrr-eautiful!
The fantastic colors and that cold air must have taken your breath away! Thanks for sharing this! Ann, it's a real treat to *see* you again, too! ~Nee

Ann McRae

Thank you , all! I am quite pleased with them. I neglected to mention that I did a bit of post work on them, and upped the saturation some to bring out the colors a tad


Thanks again.

I think I will keep my rain vs. the cold temps that it took to make those! AWSOME PICS

Ann, both are nice shots, but I LOVE that bottom one, where the lights are not turned on yet, but it is darkish...... g

I would take almost any weather over cold and snow - but we do get wonderful blue skies even in the winter.....

Thanks!

Hi Ginger

Ya know, I hadn't given any thought to the fact the lights weren't on! This is in a brand new subdivision, and probably only one or two homes are occupied - mostly huge, overpriced still vacant lots! I wonder if the lights ever get turned on

Thank so much

Ann,

I like em both But, as others have mentioned, they make me feel colddddddddd....lol I had to warm up my hands after viewing them, just so I could type this response :lol

Very nice shots and I hope it gets a little warmer in the coming weeks. You know like -10 or so.....lol

Hi bikehiker - we have a saying here "It's a dry cold". Cold weather 'down east' (Toronto or Montreal for example) is sooooo much more miserable due to the humidity - at least that's my feeling!

Thanks
