At Gatorland, Orlando or Kissimmee, FL.
It doesn't happen often, but we got snow on the Superstitions today in Arizona. I couldn't drive out to the mountain, so was forced to find a spot close by and used the 200-600.
Thank you Joshua and Douglas! Yes, the winter light is gorgeous and so far this year we have had an unusual amount of sunny days. However, you have to find open places to shoot at since even low buildings and trees can block the sun now when it's so low.
Some days it looks like this instead..:

Helena -- Another beautiful set in the snow! I'm curious about these cabins. They look like they would still be habitable, maybe with a little work -- are they vacant, or just don't receive upkeep to protect the wood exteriors?
I hope we eventually get some snow here, but it's rare.

I lived for two years in Hoquiam, with the family of an aunt and uncle during my wild teenage years (9th & 10th grades). The red house, seen here with the tiled entrance porch noting "The Rutledge Home" is still in the family as a rental home -- owned by my cousin, John, the youngest of the children, and not yet born when I lived there. The other houses were across the street.
