Happy Holidays!

I just wanted to wish you all a Merry Christmas and some great Holidays with family, friends and whomever you will spend your time with. If you have some fresh snow, go out and take a walk to enjoy the beauty of it and do not take it for granted.

For years I believed to live in a snow-safe area but since the dry and cold air masses from Russia stopped colliding with the wet ones moving in from the UK, we seem to have a hard time around Christmas each year, snow-wise speaking. We had a good cover already, something to build up on, but right in the middle of Christmas Eve the thermometer revealed 41F/5C which is a major disappointment.

Anyhow, after the break, I’ll be back to Dresden to shoot the city with Mr. Blue Hour himself, Mr. David Bank, flying straight in from London. Really looking forward to that and I am in high hopes the weather will cooperate.

I’ll leave you with an old favorite of mine. A square crop from one of the majestic winter sunsets I have witnessed. Standing atop the highest mountain in the region let’s you reflect on the past but also makes you look forward to the great things to conquer in the days, weeks and months to come, so now I said it, I am looking forward to 2010 but I will cover my excitement with the New Year’s post.

Until then, happy shooting! Never stop exploring! 😉

David

    Merry belated David, hope you had a great New Years too!

    I’m liking the mini snowdrift/ cornice in your photograph!

    Thank you Steve. Glad you like it, it’s one of my winter favorites from the past year, along with “Cold Fire”.

    And also thanks for the Christmas and New Year’s wishes. Same to you and yours. May it be a successful year of photography with lots of happy moments to be shared and treasured forever.

    Best wishes,
    David
