ith all the fuzz in the construction area, several clients and cooking for the workers, my schedule got a bit weak today. As it continued snowing we have some nicely snow covered trees around but I couldn't get to shoot any during the day.

s they said, we got some snow today. During the night there were heavy rain showers running through, but in the morning rain became snow and covered all the ugly brown spots again.

ure it would be a lot nicer to have one more sunny winter wonderland shot to post, but sometimes weather is what it is -- rainy. I didn't want to bore anybody with some more trails but instead present you with what the valley looked today.

s today wasn't exactly great outdoors, I used some of those sparklers I had left over from X-mas to make a multi-exposure picture of that magic.

fter a quite demanding day -- it started with the conversion of the kitchen into a neat construction area after a minor leakage which seemingly wetted the construction enough to make us break through the floor -- and continued with a rather clouded sky in the evening.

inally we had a nice day today. It got a bit cloudy in the afternoon, but still quite nice to go for the "near sunset" shot I was waiting for. My son and I went for a hike and he showed me his favorite places in the forest -- plenty of frozen creeks in the shadows, too dark to get a great pic anyway.

oday being day 15th of this 30 day challenge, and we're half way through January. One more puzzle to resolve -- do you remember the logs burning brightly on day 4?

rying to avoid any more trails I was tuned to go for a nice and sunny shot. Yesterday's sunset was very impressive which made me hope for an even more impressive day. In fact it got warm but cloudy, no sun at all.

oday being day 12b of this challenge, I thought it would be a good idea to send some positive message to all who keep shooting and commenting bravely. For this, I took position at the tunnel you can see on the map I posted yesterday -- if you follow the road to the right, you'll see it disappear and that's this tunnel.

ight trails are simply wonderful. The turn looks a lot better with trails and together with that house and the moon lit sky I thought this would make a great scene. Pity it's so many roads and light trails, but somehow they're fascinating. And yes, I used the 20 mm Nikkor once more :)
