Jim, I always enjoy your posts. You capture your surroundings so well and the post processing (especially colors) is just perfect.
Douglas, beautiful as always.
Since Christmas we have had the most terrible weather, often with strong winds and rain mixed with snow. If it snows it invariably gets warmer the next day so that it turns into slush. A couple of nights ago it was the strangest weather yet: A powerful thunderstorm (which is rare in itself in winter) in the middle of a dense snowstorm! You couldn't see the actual flashes, but them lighting up the landscape and driving storm with immediate thunder afterwards gave an eerie atmosphere. They said on the news that the Atlantic Jet Stream passes over us now and is causing this weird weather. Hope it moves on soon.
This below may look like a normal snowfall, but it's actually a storm with very wet snow. You can see how the people struggle against the wind in #4.

Thanks so much, Helena! Your remarks mean a lot to me.
You've produced another beautiful set of snowy pictures -- I can see the snow sticking on the side of the shed. Awful weather to be caught in if you are unprepared. Nice to have a big horse to ride like those two in your shot.
Another photo from the Blue Mountains, from a bit over a week ago:

I kept going back and forth on whether to add vignetting to emphasise the light rays. As you can see I ended up going with some heavy vignetting for this one...
