I finally did it - the first comment on one of Merisi's blogs. Great photos!
ReplyDeleteSnow always transforms things and makes them magical.
ReplyDeleteTomorrow we expect a huge storm here in NY
SEASON"S GREETINGS!
As always, everytime I come to look at your blog you have some fantastic photos!
ReplyDeleteWould love to have snow here, but all we are getting is cold, cold, rain. Sigh....

Yes, like Elizabeth, I am thinking about the contrast in the gently civilized elegance of the snow arriving in Vienna, compared to what the forecasters are predicting will take place tomorrow afternoon in New York. (Hoping I will not have to shovel the sidewalk in front of the store.) Nothing elegant about that vision.

Thanks for the tour, it looks like a lovely place to visit.
ReplyDeleteSnow is so much prettier when it's photographed somewhere else (ie. not in my own back yard!)
ReplyDeleteMisty and beautiful.
ReplyDeleteDelightful wintry scenes!
ReplyDeletebeauty of snow which touches anywhere makes wonderful...
ReplyDeletei love these misty shots. such atmosphere!
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking us on the snowy tour, it does look beautiful but cold brrrrrr!!
ReplyDeleteSimply breathtaking.
ReplyDeleteWow. Gorgeous
ReplyDeleteThank you all for your kind comments! :-)
ReplyDeleteSnow is beautiful, but can also mess up holiday plans: We welcomed one daughter from California tonight, who made it across two continents battered by snow storms safely. We are waiting for a friend from Virginia, who could not make it to Washington Dulles airport. The flight was cancelled, the next possibility out will not be until Tuesday. My old hometown seems to disappear in the snow!
A safe weekend to you all, wherever you may be!
Christmas cheers,
Merisi
Yes, Merisi, not all see snow in the same way. My brother who lives just outside Washington DC, called this morning to say he was in a blizzard.
ReplyDeleteI had to cut him a bit short saying we had our own version coming and that I had to get to work.
(Yes, I will be shovelling the sidewalk clear tomorrow morning, borrowing the shovel from the building's superintendant who will have Sunday as a day off.)
Right now, the view from my front window is pretty romantically beautiful.

Oh no, Frances,
ReplyDeletethat you have to shovel the sidewalk is outragious!
Back in our old DC home, our son used to clear the driveways of neighbors when he was quite young already. They were always grateful and paid him well, glad that he did they work before any snow plow would get around in the residential areas.
Overnight, almost a foot of snow has fallen here too.
simply glorious!
