This is my entry for the current Chiaroscuro contest. The sun was hitting the snow so perfectly. The snow is only in the Cascades Mountains here and there, the Valley has tons of wind and rain. I'm sure learning a lot, which is good.I never even heard of that word til this contest began ! I wasn't sure what gallery to put it in. I had a hard time decided whether to enter a photo or not. But it was interesting. The snow on this photo wasn't so deep, it had drifts tho.

The sun on the snow is really nice! Makes it look warmer than what it actually was. Out of curiosity, how deep is the snow?

Guess you had to go to the Cascades to find that snow Verena, I do like how the snow is piled on top and all around the log

I had to look up "Chiaroscuro" just to find out what it was also and still can't pronounce it...

I never heard of the "C" word either, still can't pronounce it, and will never get the spelling right. LOL. Excellent entry for the contest V. YOu have nice light and shadows, and I like the color in the wood. Too early for snow for me, but I know it's coming.

Sure you don't have snow down there yet, but have you been blown off the map yet? I keep hearing stories of the winds and rains there. Seaside was flooded from what I hear. Sad! Great picture though, a very good entry!

Snow is in the Cascade Mountain Range, but down here in the Valley it has been extremely windy and rainy!! I heard about 95mph winds at the Coast here. They go thru a lot there. The snow, so far, is only in the mountains. Whew. I love it too, but last year we had 2 1/2 feet at our house...so I can wait a while!!v

It is known that there is an infinite number of worlds, simply because there is an infinite amount of space for them to be in. However, not every one of them is inhabited. Therefore, there must be a finite number of inhabited worlds. Any finite number divided by infinity is as near to nothing as makes no odds, so the average population of all the planets in the universe can be said to be zero. From this it follows that the population of the universe is also zero, and that any people you may meet from time to time are merely the product of a deranged imagination.

Good morning Verena
I feel cold just looking at this, with memories of walking in the snow with sandles, shorts and no jumper (young and silly). I like the way that there are just a few spots of direct light. Good entry for the contest (keep the rest of us on our toes, eh?)

It's like the snow is glowing in that fantastic lighting! I'm not anxious for snow, but it always makes a pretty picture at first snow fall :) I like the strong contrast between the rich wood grain and the snow. Excellent capture, and best wishes in the contest, Verena!
