Making Snow

We are blessed to have Laurentian Ski Hill in the middle of our town.  The City Bus will take you there.

And when the Snow Gods are a bit tardy, as they are this year, we are equipped with the ability to fashion a sliding surface from artificial snow.

Opening for Christmas Holidays is very important for the financial health of the hill and it was opened on Dec 23 with good conditions on part of it.

Cold temperatures and some help from Mother Nature will make it possible to get the remainder of the runs open soon.

In the meantime we should all pray for snow!

White Christmas?

One Mile Bay is frozen over…

…but it doesn’t look like we’ll have a White Christmas.

Oh well, it’s cold outside.

Monochrome

King’s Landing is an interesting place to make photographs of Lake Nipissing.

The moods of the Lake and clouds are emphasized by black and white.  Colour reduces the impact somewhat.

Who’s next in the Barber Chair?

Rather stark surroundings.

Bus Shelter

When the weather is cold and it takes forever for the school bus to come, a little shelter is welcome.

Today it’s nicer to stand outside and wait.

I had a very pleasant conversation with the lady of the house.  Turns out that she and her kids built it without male supervision.  It’s a bit crooked and it needs some painting again but it has stood for four years and there are quite a few more left in it.  Without doubt, it is a very cheery sight at the end of the day when the kids get off the bus.

Playing in the Cold

Last Saturday was bitterly cold and snowing.

But that made it a perfect day for this kiteboarder:

His only complaint was that the wind was too light!

Some days it’s just miserably cold.

This is one of them.

Angel

In today’s wired world, simple pleasures are still evident.

Leaving one’s mark, I suppose.

Winter’s Back!

The ice is solid and very smooth after it got flooded by the warm weather.

The bit of snow is the icing on the cake.

Slow But Steady

The ice builds with inevitable persistance as the temperature drops.
