Snow/ice .. rare in my country the last decennia.. very common in Canada only a big diffrence this year !

We flew in on the 25 th December.. flying over the UK.. slightly up to Iceland and near Greenland the turn left direction Goose bay..Gaspe Peninsula (where our TL friend Annie Belanger lives: *beger* )and final destination: Montreal.

Doing this for the last years.. around Greenland and lower South looking out the Airplane window.. its always a white world. However.. not this year!
A mix of dark land with spots of snow ..
Global warming, yes its happening Folks!

Hello, John,
A lovely Nature image from Montreal! I like the different colours of the sunset sky, as well as the trees acting as a natural frame.
Good to see you again.

Hello John,
Wonderful light and great framing!
The scenery look cold and warm at the same time...
This one should qualify to reach 100 points within... say 48 hours?

Hi John,
I love your sunset.. Also that is it different with the sun on the left and not in the center! Very nice...
Weather is the same here... but they SAY Monday snow.. Happy the kids have the day off:)
great notes.. but I really hope its just a winter trend for this year and not global warming... (I know I can dream righ?)
Have a great weekend...

Looks like we just both posted the beginning and the end of the day and it amazing ways...love this sunset. neat how you got the suns color on the ridges of the snow banks..very nice. TFS

Hoi John,
Fantastisch plaatje John, wat een rust enprachtige warme kleuren! De silhouetten van de bomen vormen een prachtig natuurlijk frame!
Hans

Thats a nice cool sunset with warm light coming in. It looks just a tad on the soft side but that might also be the compression.

Beautiful sunset.. I like the way the sun creates a star shape into the tree. We are having one of the hottest summers in quite a while. you are right about the global warming...

Hi John lala!
Here we call tulips -lala, great shot and colours are amazing, nice compo too.This winter no snow for us here, it's 17 C. :)

Hello John,
I like the framing you did on this and the peeping sun make this picture mellow dramatic.
Excellent colorful capture!

Nice light and vibrant colors. An excellent scene to behold. Shot looks a tad soft, most likely due to small aperature and 1/30 shutter speed. All things considered, a nice composition.

Hello John,
This is very nice composition with a nice sunset and a great mood. I like the reflection of the sun on the snow (the only real one that stayed a couple of days only this year) in the foreground that make it look so warmt.
Hugzz to you and Yolanda.

Hi John - You keep improving, no stopping you. The emotions you touch with this picture - a beautiful sunset, but more than that. How? I don't know. Part of the reason may be the gorgeous golden orange colour under a partially blue evening sky; then there are those silhouettes. It's simply dreamlike. So well done. And thank you for sharing. Have a good week! And a happy new year, if I haven't wished you one before. - cheers, Cordelia :)

Hi Johnny.
Yes, this is why I like the hobby 'Photography' so much. There is warmth in the photo, but also in the way the PP has been setup by you! I keep looking at it John, its so nice! Hugs

It is too beautiful! This sunset is splendid, I know that I do nothing but repeat what all messages before mine but good ...
With snow in the first plan which makes waves like a prolongation of the lake, the colors being reflected above, it's giant

WOW..John!

A beautiful Sunset photo! The warm colours are amazing but what's really cool is that you managed to frame the whole thing naturally between two trees!

Very well seen & composed

At first glance I would not think there is snow because of the beauty of the last rays of the sun. A very nicely framed composition.

Hi John

Good colour, lighting & use of the 2 trees as framing devices. Perhaps I would sharpen a little. I like the banded orange light at the bottom. Tfs!

Een heerlijke prent.. mooi in silhouette en ook mooi soft. Tja, hiervoor koopt men fofo-hobby spulletjes, voor een moment zoals dit! Groetjes

Great work my friend.

Very nice pov. The colors represents well the time of the day. Good decision to give more room at the sky and less at the bottom. Nice natural frame created by the trees. Overall, a nice classic image.

Your picture is great,amazing light and of this afternoon time, colors.
All the best to you and your family.

Hi John
A nice winter landscape with the sun peeking through the trees. A winter sky as I call it, colourful yet cold looking. Nicely composed with the trees on each side and I especially like the drifts of snow in the foreground with the sun glistening off them. This is a beautiful shot.

I think Montreal has snow now...the eastern Canada has been battered lately with both snow and ice.

The winner takes it all. I realise with my critique this is going to be your highest rating, as it should be. Congratulations Johnny with this result. Super!

Hiya Johnny,

How ya doing mate, hope your keeping ok.

A very nice shot here my friend with a great natural frame and beautiful warm colourings.

Good work

UK Johnny :)

A beautiful scene John, with wonderful colour and sharpness and just the beauty of the natural surroudings makes this shot special. It's quite amazing to see a nature shot like this in a urban area like St.Jean's road, Pointe Claire. I guess you were right on Lakeshore Drive when you took this. I used to live further north off St.Jean's road near the Trans Canada highway, before we moved over the border to Ontario. So it is good memories for me.
Cheers Joan
Thanks for your visit to my photo and for your kind comments and wishes for 2007, and I would like to wish the same to you and your family.
