For today dear “TL” friends is same serial...
Shot was taken at Niagara river, Ontario, jest next day, 11 feb. 08...

The common Snowdrop, (Galanthus nivalis), is the best-known representative of a small genus of about 20 species in the family Amaryllidaceae that are among the first bulbs to bloom in spring. Flowering in January or February in the northern temperate zone. The white flower has six petals, the outer three segments being larger and more convex than the inner series. The six anthers open by pores or short slits...

The Niagara River flows to the north from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. It serves as part of the border between the Province of Ontario in Canada and New York State in the United States. There are various theories as to the origin of the name. According to NASA, "Niagara" comes from a Native American word meaning "at the neck". According to George R. Stewart, it comes from the name of an Iroquois town called "Ongniaahra", meaning "point of land cut in two".

The river, which is occasionally described as a "strait", is approximately 56 kilometers long and includes Niagara Falls along its course. The falls have moved upstream from the Niagara Escarpment about 11 kilometers, the total drop in elevation along the river is 99 meters, in the last 12.000 years, resulting in a gorge below the falls. Today, diversion of the river for electricity generation has significantly reduced the rate of erosion.

Power plants on the river are the Sir Adam Beck Hydroelectric Power Stations, on the Canadian side, and the Robert Moses Niagara Power Plant, built in 1961, on the American side. The sites generate 4.4 giga watts of electricity combined. The river flow is also regulated by the International Control Works built in 1954. Shipping on the Great Lakes bypasses the Niagara River and Niagara Falls using the Welland Canal, part of the Saint Lawrence Seaway, located on the Canadian side.

Kao sto se vidi po fotografiji, jedan dan mecava – drugi lepo i suncano, ali i dalje –15C... Visibabu sam ukonponovao da slika bude veselija, snimljena sa druge suncane strane.

Pozdrav svima, George

Hello George,
The empty bench is well placed in the composition!
The wintery feeling is well captured, and the fine light gives promises about the spring soon coming...
Good diagonal in the composition, sharp fine details!

Hi george

I like the graphism of the dark, empty solitary park bench, against the lighter snow. Good pov, with excellent sharpness. Tfs!

An artistically presented image of a very good photo. I like the addition of the snowdrops inthe corner.
