Entry #2 - Snow

I was walking back from the library last night and was fortunate to enough to have my camera on me when I came across the landscape. It had been lightly snowing all day yesterday and gave just enough to coat the trees and grass without causing too much trouble for the walkways. This picture was taken from the circle in front of Reimert looking towards Thomas. I like this for a few reasons, the color of the light and the way it hits off the snow on the trees and illuminates every branch is really incredible. The other reason I like it is because of the footpath and the way each brick is outlined by the shadows from the light. The lines extend all the way down the path. I would have liked it better if it was snowing at this particular moment but either way I really like this photo.

This picture was presented at the Main Gallery, Approver's Choice. I think it gives off a similar affect. The light is orange instead of white and the trees and their branches are all well lit up with snow covering them. I think this picture tells a different story though. The truck in the picture is covered with snow and the streets are left unplowed. This appears to be the immediate aftermath of a snowstorm whereas my picture shows a walkway that is clear of snow and only a light dusting of snow on everything else. You can't tell by looking at my picture if there was a snow storm like the picture below that people are recovering from or if there was a small storm and this is immediately after.
