How about posting some shots of the recent snow storms in Europe. That is if anyone out there was brave enough to venture outside and take some photos.....
 
Here's one from Belgium, shot last saturday with the good'ol 1Ds :



 






















some photos of the Berlin area where I live...ok, it is cold but not as bad as the news media makes it out to be....
greetings

Shots 1 and 2 are great. I love the feeling in both these shots. Shot 2 has better colors though. Very much love those 2 shots.

I was always amused when I lived in Britain how an inch of snow could paralyze that country. Now, I will grant that we have better snow removal equipment because we have to have it. But the city doesn't plow your laneways for you.

From March 2008, my driveway before and after shovelling (note the relative height of my car for scale in the second shot):





And no, I don't have no pansy-assed snow blower. I shovelled over 13 feet of snow that winter. Over 10,000 cubic feet of it based on the size of my driveway. Or, around 150,000 pounds (68,000 kg) of it if this estimate on the weight of snow is correct:

Snow in Worksop Nottinghamshire
 
I went out on the morning of Saturday Dec 18th, and the streets were clear - not a snowflake in sight. Around 10am it began to snow lightly, and by about 11:30am we had blizzard conditions. It's very rare to see snow like this in the centre of London.

I was 'trapped' in London Camera Exchange in the Strand, just up from Trafalgar Square, for almost an hour. When the snow eased off slightly, I left, and the streets were transformed.

I actually live in the City area of London - the original Square Mile - and (rather than catch a bus at Aldwych) decided to walk home and take some pictures.

Unfortunately, I did not have my 5D with me, but the little Samsung NX-10 with 30mm Pancake lens did a pretty good job and survived the snow.

Bear in mind, the streets were clear of snow a couple of hours earlier.
