As the title indicates, snowy days like this are only memories in 2007..!

The pile of snow you see here is the result after clearing a parking lot outside a hotel... last February!

These days heavy storms are reported from Sweden and Norway, and several people have been killed by falling trees...

------

Update January 17:

Last night we had 20 cm fresh white snow, and today temperature is – 6C so I guess winter came at last… Have a look at the workshop image!

Bonjour Pablo,
Excellente composition on peut quasiment ressentir le froid.
Merci pour ce partage

Hello Pablo.
Nice winter scenery. Dont worry, winter is just started. Snow will come for sure.
In Holland it was yesterday the warmest day since 1901.!
That shows it was warm in the past aswell.!
Anyhow, I will not wait for it, going to Spain by Saterday for a month.!

hello Pablo! great shot! the snow is wonderful!fantastic composition!TFS

Superb compo ans colours, excellent framing, beautiful light and atmosphere. I like that blue winter...

TFS,
Andreea

May we have some of your snow for our city. We are lacking it. Only about 1" here. Very nice view of the parking lot outside the hotel. I noticed the blue tones. If you use Photoshop, 'Auto colour' can often take care of that. If new, reduce cyan and the snow will become nice and white. Just a suggestion.

Just when I was ready to write you and ask where you're hding, you bring us another perfect picture and this time of real winter! The many shades of blue at play here are marvelous and I love the way you have contrasted the great man-made mountain of snow with the tiny benches. Perfect composition, Masterful colours and details: a True Pablo Minto

Hi Pablo,

Pity that we now see this kind of weather only in photos! :(
Let's not lose our hope. We might see the real Winter in February...

Well done and TFS

Hi PAblo,

What a nice winter landscape! Masterfully captured, specially the fine composition, placing the wooden table and bench in the corner, which gives a size reference.
The mood is very nice and you can almost feel the chill!

Hi Pablo,
Nice winter scenery. This year no snow in Berlin.

We could say the background help. Lol i was about to say it is just a melt of snow push in the border... Ho i did one me to at the top of a mountain like that in the spring. I'm always impress to say we can do nice presentation even with details like that...
Here the point who become interesting is the comparison with the real moutain in the background and the trees who separate in a good way of presentation!

Hello Pablo!!
What a HUGE snowpile, I like the blue tones of the photo, makes it look so very cold!!

Hi Pablo,
Excellent camaïeu! I like the curved lines and the softness of colors. Bravo! Annie

Hi Pablo,
We are also having a very unusual winter with spring like temperatures and intermittent cold days in between. Blame it on El Nino or global warming. Although the snow is piled in this image, it's a glorious reminder that winter can be very beautiful. Well composed with fine details and colors. Best regrads. Danilo

Excellent tonality in this photo. Just looking at it gives me the shivers as it conveys the idea of being cold. Excellent capture of all the detail of the snow-covered trees. Great work. Cheers, Todd

Hallo Pablo,
Ihr habt mindestens 20 cm Schnee, bei uns kann man nur hoffen das wir noch welchen bekommen denn bis jetzt ist warm, jetzt um 18.00 haben wir noch + 10°C und nur ab und zu haben wir eine frostige Nacht, aber zurück zum Bild ein wunderschönes Bild mit fabelhaften Farben und Details, man sieht die schöne Blau-Töne die man am meisten im Winter sieht. Fantastisch.
Schöne Grüsse

I would have never guessed that someone could get a nice shot out of plowed snow, Pablo. But it works well. The blue cast looks fine. The sky is wonderful, I think this was the right time of day for this shot. Even the elements on the left (the table and the power pole) add a nice touch. Well done!

Looking at the thumbnail, Pablo, I thought you had a burst of energy and shoveled your driveway! We haven't seen that much snow in a while, guess have to wait for summer, haha - that's when it hits us sometimes....
Clean off the picknick table, and we can have a real northern BBQ!

Hello Pablo,
This is a nice moody composition with that blue cast and the clouds in the sky. luckily they push the snow in pile so we can see something that look like snow accumulation.

Hi Pablo. Winter seems to be arriving later everywhere in the Northern Hemisphere this year but when it does it is with a vengeance. Lovely workshop image and the main shot well captured. We have had a spate of warmish weather with temperatures up to 33C, not as warm as some parts of Australia of course where they heve been well into the 40's. TFS

Lol this looked so beautiful, I was imagining a lovely scene on a snowy mountain...and then you tell me it is a hotel parking lot :)

It just shows that snow makes everything beautiful...and a good photographer of course.

We have heavy storm as well. The train network was in chaos yesterday and people died from falling tree incidents

Keep safe

Hello Pablo!
I prefer it the way it is this year - without any snow in the plains (In Spain the rain stais mainly in the plains;-)... It is much better to observe the snow on nice pics like this one and blaze in the ever-spring sun. Some environmentalists may blame me for my slogan: Let this photo become historical!
Hehe, joking of course. No one knows what the future holds in store. Most often what has been in the past returns in the future...
Best regards!

Hi Pablo,
Great compo, the colours in this image are so good, very cold, very blue and white with fantastic contrast.
Ok so it is snowing, what about some more wonderful, indoor still life images from you...??? :~)
Thanks,

Hi Pablo,
Again a stunning great picture from you my friend. The blue tone makes this view very interesting. The whole comosition is very attractive. Job well done and TFS!

:) Later...

Hello Pablo,
I was thinking the same as you about winter and this week, we also received 15 cm of fresh snow and temperatures have dropped to -30 degreed Celsius... So here, winter has come also and I think that it is much better than the weather we had so far. Winter without snow is not winter. I hope it'll last for a little while... This is a very nice capture of this scene with excellent details and good exposure. I like this lightning and this blue dominant color. Well done! Thanks,

Bonjour Pablo
When I was a kid, on our rural road, piles of snow were sooooooo high that we could easily carve tunnels.
Nowadays, when I get back there, nothing so spectacular because of planet warming.
"Memories" indeed!
Robert

Hi Pablo,

very good atmosphere, the white dominating this scene is really great!.

Compliments!

Gio

Tell you what - I love your WS picture even more Pablo.
That snow looked fresh indeed and those colours are wonderful - so 1 point for this one and 2 for the WS and 1 for the note --- double smiley deserved.
TFS hope the snow will wait a bot, because I look forward to autumn colours first.
