Winter Pictures

I really should become a morning person. Only time I'm up before 9 typically is if I have class at 9:30

Some neat pics up here! Below are three of my faves that I've taken in the past few months:

I looove that lighthouse Jeff-which one is it?

This is what snow looks like in my neck of the woods, the Sonoran Desert. Snow looks funny on saguaro cacti but it does happen every year.

Susan,

The lighthouse pictured is the Split Rock Lighthouse in Two Harbors (far northeastern), MN, and it sits on the shoreline of Lake Superior.

Lets dig the old thread out... finally off crutches, I went with a friend that snowmobiles to the Grand Forks Equipment 100 snowmobile race in town this past weekend. Absolutely beautiful day for taking pictures. Despite temps around ~10F I only needed a single battery for each camera (telephoto on 20D, wide angle on XTI).

Since this thread seems to be coming back to life, here are a few of mine from this winter:

And finally this one, which looks a little like a summer thunderstorm but is actually a winter one - the leading edge of a band of thundersnow moving into the mountains:

All of these pictures were taken at the Santa Fe ski area in NM. Additional pictures and information from each day can be found at:

Here's mine - we didn't have much this Winter. Two (minor) ice storms and one crackin' good shelf cloud (two days after Christmas!).

Some of these photos--many of them, in fact--are flat-out sublime, bordering on transcendent. What a treat to see such great photography!

This year was my first attempt at winter photography. I was amazed at just how much there is to capture with a camera lens this time of year. Wish I had the money for a good macro setup; I'm sure that opens up a whole new dimension. But I'm pleased with what I've got so far. Here are a few samples.

Winter isn't my best season. All we have had here in WI is snow snow snow. Did manage to get a few good winter pics, though.
