Brr I can't imagine living in a tent for the winter. I'm cold at night even with 3 blankets, a space heater, and four sturdy walls plus ceiling! Very good shot though...it looks quite cold. The blue border...I like it, and I don't like it. Lol. The blue works very well with the tent and the snow, and it is very original...but black would go better with the trees. Just my opinion though.. I like it like this too! Good job...I'm going to get some hot chocolate now to warm myself back up again! =)

Nice Native American themeing...Good capture!

I really like the picture. It looks like a great wigwam. Hope they got a fire in there.

not a tent... no... and almost, but hup not a wigwam either!

Anybody feel like (tipi'ing) the principals car?

Old Indian quote: Don't p.. p.. in my teepee. Stark but interesting.

Great shot, wonderful colour, lighting and composition, the border compliments the image very nicely.... love these kind of pics, boy they must have just about froze living in one of those.. nice work.. thanks for sharing

I can feel my nose getting cold just looking at this! Cool pic!

Wow, the shadows and the snow on the tepee make it appear just that much colder. I like the blue border because it matches what you are trying to convey to the viewer...that is....man it is really cold out here. Overall very classic iamge. Well done. Thanks for posting :~)

Looks pretty cold today aswell :)

Ditto - in particular I agree with Mimi !!! Thanks for sharing and congratulations.

I like the blue border and the composition. A real tipi, or lodge, would have been made of tough buffalo hide, the top would have been drawn tighter, and of course a hide flap to seal the entrance. With animal pelts and buffalo robes covering the dirt floor and a nice wood fire in the middle, the tipi would be quite snug inside. Smokey, but snug!

even the colors are beautiful

Actually, if this tipi had the door flap closed, the smoke vent lessened at the top, and a fire going inside, it would be comfortable enough inside to take off your coat and hang out in your tee-shirt...and, maybe even your old college running shorts. Native Americans way back didn't care to freeze any more than we do and so, if set up properly, tipis and earthlodge homes were fairly comfortable affairs. The two longer poles, seen here leaving the top of the tipi on the right and sticking up and out over the left, were attached to the vent flaps on top and, by lifting and moving them to one side or the other, you could open or close the vent at the top as much or as little as you wanted. I don't recognize the geometric shapes and patterns on the tipi... west coast?
