Hello Silke,
This is a very attractive creation!
So this is December at the Niagara, amazing light indeed...
I like the composition with the curving road, and the factory like buildings in the back contrast well with the natural beauty...

Hi dear friend,
it's a real pleasure to see your shot near mine :)
This it's a wonderful posting for this Theme.
I've red the story. Great one! I know that feeling, when after many shots you turn back your head and see something amazing and... it all starts again... :))) It's an amazing feeling. The light it's truly special and the mood it's more than pleasant.
Congrats my friend!
Best wishes,
Ioana

Hi Silke,
I can imagine you selected this as your favorite shot! Great management of light in this scene, dramatic clouds. The lonely figure makes it even more dramatic!
Excellent contribution to the theme!

Hi Silke,

A quick message from my sisters computer.
That must have been wonderful - this picture sure is!
I know how to neglect a spouse when enjoying time with your camera. Luckily on our TL meet Ad had other spouses to keep him company. When you make pictures you really forget about the cold. How great it must be to see snow for the first time in your life!
Wonderful capture - amazing sky and story.

Hi Silke
That has an odd look of welcome about it.
Moody colours, the lone walker, maybe going home.
All the best

The amazing colors in the sky and the misty spray in the background are just wonderfull Silke but for me the silhouettes of the skyline make the shot. Good contribution to teh theme.

That light was well worth running back for! It also brings back memories of when I lived in Buffalo for a couple of years...and the SNOW:) Anyway, the cloud formations and the light in this image are truly exquisite, and I love the muted silhouetted shapes of the building(s). Good catch and very well done:)

I don't 'know' Shelby or Linda, but I'm sure you all had a great time together. I love going out on photoshoots with Dawn and Pam and Sweety too. We have so much fun and learn a lot too.
Super colours here Silke - that sky is so pretty - just as well you stopped and went back...
Cheers
Janice

PS Us Kiwi TL's promise NOT to post a pic of each other unless we all agree on it. We have so many 'bad' pics of each other we will 'pay them back' double-fold!!

Impressive that orange and moody Sky! The only time i remember seeing a sky who impress me that much was a summer sunset... I simply stop and was n total admiration... as i shoot... And shoot again... But as the 1.4 mega mix was limited...

Probably you had the same feeling with that sky who impress a mood to those buildings.
I find it excellent!

Hi Silke - I am glad you two ran back to get this beautiful light! The colours of the clouds and the sky remind me of William Turner's palette. Wonderful contrast to the greyish colours on the ground. The fabulous, partial haze in the LH middle ground and the tree silhouettes add still more atmosphere to this wintery urban sunset. Very well done and thank you for sharing, also the story behind this shot! You made me smile. A happy and prosperous 2008 to you!! - Cordelia :))

Hello Silke,
What a difference in nature. John, Luc and myself were there I guess on exact date last year, and we'd horrible weather.

This is beautiful light, and nice misty atmosphere. TFS

Hi Silke. This is a wonderful photo of the winter weather in that part of the world. The cropping and the inclusion of a solo walker makes it excellent. Suitable for a magazine or similar. TFS. Murray.

I think Linda posted an image from close to this same spot. Interesting to see the different composition the the two of you chose. Really like your results with the sky element. I just critiqued her picture of you at Friday's an assumed there would be one of her over her.
