    A postcard from the House of Rex

    (I really need to give my city house a name. My farm house had one...)

    So, I have been up late tonight working on a project for the office, and was heading to bed when I looked out my bedroom window and saw a placid scene.


    I just had all my original windows replaced (all 31 of them!) last week, and besides being energy efficient, they are exceedingly clean at the moment. This photo was taken through the double glass and is using only the ambient light in the neighborhood. It's a pretty fair representation of how bright it is here at 2:00 am on a snowy night.

    G'night,
    Rex.

    Lovely photo Rex, my street is almost as bright, though right now there is no new snow on the roads.

    Your description, Rex, brings back childhood memories of looking out the window at the snow glow late at night after everyone else was asleep. Thanks.

    That really captures the atmosphere. But I'm really glad I live in an area where snow is a rare event.

    Lovely Rex - I'm a sucker for the silence of a snowy winter's night!

    I just want new windows. We have the annoying plex flexible windows, with rotting frames. Some were painted over when they painted the house, and never 'cleaned' up.

    I love the the center tree and the wonderful qualities of light and shadow you captured on it.

    One of the great things about this forum is the opportunity to look through other's eyes and experience a small look at another part of the world

    I may not care to live where it snows but I appreciate the opportunity you have given us to share this still and beautiful moment from your world.

    Cheers
