Snow

falling

gargoyles.



Today was the wet cotton sky. What can you do with such flat light... no reflections, no shadows, nothing defined in the sky. Wet cotton is useless for many things, including taking pictures of dramatic light. Today's sky was a tough one to work with. I enjoyed it the tiniest bit because it was different. It was some consolation to see the snowflakes change size & intensity.

I knew it was supposed to snow today but I didn't recognize it as a snow-filled sky right away. This morning I was sitting near a bright window reading, and I looked up to see really small snowflakes falling. It hasn't been that long since it last snowed, but snow is an odd enough thing (bits of solid stuff falling all over the place) that it's always a bit surprising, and the ground didn't look particularly wintery to receive it. First it was talcum powder snow. Then it got fewer in number but larger in size. Then it took a break, and later it came back with the kind of big puffy flakes that one might call christmas snow.



It's still snowing, but now it's dark. I can't report on the current volume & intensity.
