Suddenley the mellow afternoon light that you usually have, is turned into a cold and gray one. The white frontage of the house is matching the snow.

the small remains of snow really top it off- great as ever.

A fine suburban composition. Love the snow.

It seems to have snowed intensely there. The parking lot isn't part of the house, isn't it? :-)
I like the gloomy atmosphere. Nice photo.

@Reiner: we have had a fair amount of snow, and earlier than usual, it seems.
this house is one of my favorite empty houses. it isn't actually abandoned, in that it has a "for sale" sign up, and someone seems to take care of it, but it's been vacant for years. it's slowly being surrounded by fast food restaurants and strip malls - and so, the parking lot.

I like the line of the snow leading to the edge of the house, halted by the fence. Excellent tonality as always.

This is a pleasant composition with the band of darker fence in contrast with the white of the house. A good one in my book!

Beautiful picture in its simplicity and in the sense that it represents the life of so many people... I like it

another great capture, I like the fact that one plank is missing just makes the fence and the shot even more interesting

Oh yeah, snow, I've heard of that. It did cool down here last night, but yesterday afternoon it was almost 90.

@Twelvebit: damn it... the sun is shining this morning, and it's 20...

I can't believe how much snow you've had. I like this over the fence shot.

Love this one! The left over snow literally is the icing on this one!

The city I live in is famous for craftsman style homes and wooden fences very much like the one shown in the back. In fact, part of my house looks kind of like that roof. So it's sort of weird seeing something I am familiar with but with snow in the foreground. No shadow today, but still a great shot Grant.

@Howard F.: thanks for the comment howard. it's always interesting to hear about unexpected associations like this.

I was in Austin yesterday and the radio was talking about snow in Houston, which isn't all that far away from where I am. Now granted, over night the day before temperatures supposedly got down to freezing. So, I guess some hundred miles further north or so it supposedly snowed, but here yesterday, it was in the 60's --and is again today.

I very very love this, especially the repetiton of vertical and horizontal lines and tones.

a wonderfully flat composition (horizontally) all lines and tonalities... but then the empty parking lot with the slanted piles of shoveled snow interject depth into the fore -- where it would be least expected!! a faaabulous play of dimensionality -- akin to the the invention and experimentation of Cubism at the turn of the century... Bravo -- on all accounts!!!
