    Winter

    I took the bus back to college from being at home for Thanksgiving, and it started to (really) snow for the first time this season. I got on my boots, overcoat, and balmoral, and grabbed my camera. Check it out:






















    The colors are a bit weird because of post-processing (aka, Photoshop), but it gets the point across. Now, time to put on the "Charlie Brown Christmas" soundtrack and enjoy a nice Laphroaig.

    Even though I live in the Upper Peninsula and we have lots of snow lots of the winter, I still enjoy looking at it and your pictures, even with the colors are very nice!

    DALE.

    Beautiful pictures. Brings back a lot of memories of snow, and Beloit.

    Really beautiful, Greg. I like the warm colors against the snowy mantel. I hope you don't mind, but I borrowed your third photo, blew it up and cropped it to 1920x1200 px, removed the noise and added a little glow, and it made the most luscious wallpaper for my iMac. What is the building?

    Regards,
    Rex.

    In order, the buildings are: Eaton Chapel, Middle College (the campus' first building), our brand new science center (no official name yet), Morse-Ingersoll Hall, and the house I live in.

    Very nice shots! Thanks!

    FYI, I was in a t-shirt and an AK (aka, summer kilt) for today's late afternoon band rehearsal. Just got home and I'll admit I chose to throw on a Levi jacket to fend off the cool night air, though it wasn't necessary.

    Gregg,
    Thank you for the pictures of the Campus in the first snowfall. I liked the two chairs on the front lawn draped in a blanket of snow. Reminds me of the way the lighting was in North Dakota during the first snow many years ago.
