21 Images? How on earth do you cope with that? Well, my solution is, to present most of them unedited. Only three have been tinkered with.

The Image of the Day, taken at a bus stop, needed some serious saturation enhancement and minor cropping, the image of the mirror (first of the thumbnails) needed minor cropping from the left, and the image of the flags was cropped and a vignette added. Everything else is, with the exception of automated resizing, presented as straight from the camera.

This was an experience that I had needed. A bright, cold winter day with fresh snow. Now I feel again, why I had enjoyed last winter so much.

I could have taken the car and looked for some untouched nature with virgin snow, but our culture is much too much obsessed with virginity anyway, and I wanted to have the simple joy of the real experience: just taking a walk in the neighborhood, down to the river, about an hour with me, my D300 and the Tamron 17-50/2.8 VR.

And now I shut up and leave you alone with the pictures

The Song of the Day is “Simple” from “k. d. lang’s 2000 album “Invincible Summer”. OK, wrong season, still a nice song. See a live performance on YouTube.
