CS #531 - "Winter" (Northern Hemisphere) or "Summer" (Southern Hemisphere)

[Pa]

While those of us in the northern hemisphere are dealing with winter conditions, our colleagues in the southern hemisphere are enjoying summer. So let's celebrate the seasons by posting photos which reflect the season in which we find ourselves.

The idea is to post pictures representative of the current season in your locale.

Examples are hardly necessary, but I'll start with these two of the same location in winter and summer.

As regular contributors know, we should post only original pictures made between midnight tonight, 1/11/2017, and midnight next Wednesday, 1/18/2017.

I look forward to your contributions.

A good subject, but it was 70 here yesterday, I can post pics of fallen leaves, that only gets me to fall as a qualifying shot. .

Jim, at the risk of sounding vaguely political, I'd say these represent "different but equal" -- nice shots!

I had the same thoughts when I woke up to 64 deg. this morning. Oh well, there's always the wintery mix that's forecast for the rest of the week.

Well in Sacramento I would need a Nikonos, considering all the rain we have had.
Will have to work on some interpretation of this fine theme.

Winter?

It sure doesn’t seem like it with an outside temperature of 67°F and this view “through” the windows.

Good, Bob. Winter involves a lot of rain almost everywhere.

Nice theme Jim, and great examples. Will be challenging with all the unseasonable weather we are having lately...

Yeah, in the 50s here with some rain. Snow is almost gone. Good representation of the weather, without going out in the mess.

We have had a big thaw the past two days also, but last weekend's bitter cold (4ºF low and 15 ºF high) left quite a bit of ice on a local pond.

What causes the round holes in the ice?

Thanks, Jim. The worst part of it today was that I had the 300 + 1.4X TC set up next to that window to catch the winter bird collection -- no shots were taken through that array of mini lenses.

Know what you mean. That's my setup too.

Neat shot, you handle snow/white balance very well.

Nice pair of shots. Must be moving water there? Maybe some outlet pipe there? I'd be more concerned if it was a square hole.

Great perspective on the shot. Curious as to what that is. Some outdoor fire pit?

Thanks all , yes it is an outdoor fire pit , but they are digging out one hot tub that should be somewhere on the right , we are counting snow in FEET every day not in inches !!!!

What is your elevation there? (with or without the snow )
