I think it was the same winter I got a flight from Frankfurt to Belgrade and landed in a snowstorm. The Lufthansa pilot was extremely cautious about taxiing after landing; when I deplaned I realised why, they'd cleared the runway but the taxi ways and gate area was completely covered; he obviously wanted to avoid sliding into the terminal building.
Reminds me of when I was working on a project for a Greek bank. Although based in Athens their data centre was in Bucharest. One of my Greek colleagues left home to catch her flight to Bucharest but it snowed (in Athens!). Not a lot of snow but enough to bring everything to a standstill. She phoned the office in Bucharest and was met with howls of derision; Athens had 1 or may be 2 cm of snow; Bucharest had 1 or 2m and everything just carried on working as normal.

Oh she gets plenty of treats, she's a spoiled one. She wont go to bed at night til you make her bed and lay out the blanket. Pretty funny.
Coupla sweeties you got there. Waiting for food perhaps?
No habría Sierra Nevada sin nieve.
Here's one I shot a few years ago while visitnig the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland Oregon.
There was quite a crowd surrounding the performers, blocking my view, so I held my camera overhead, arms fully extended, and aimed it by "sight". Exposure was calculated manually rather than relying on the built in exposure systems as this sort of picture can occasionally be difficult for an automated system to compute correctly.
The texture of the flame came through pretty well.

Fabulous photo. Perfect lighting.
Is that lens flare that's on the woman and elsewhere?

No not lens flare. The other performers are holding flaming sticks which they used in performance.
Took my wife to Luray Caverns this past weekend and snapped a photo of a structure they call "Pluto's Ghost".
Amazing place to check out if you're ever in western Virginia.

Best fishing trip I'd been on in a long time. Aw hell they're all good. Get out of the city now and then!

That's some skillz to calculate that exposure. Great photo!Here's one I shot a few years ago while visitnig the Oregon Shakespeare Festival in Ashland Oregon.

I think G L Pease's pipe photos are top notch.
The guy's eye is at least as refined as his palate.
