My World: Winter in my corner of the world.

[Maggie Terlecki]

Although it is still summer here, seeing photos of winter in other threads has made me want to share what winter looks like where I live. I've got to say that although it is not the most agreeable weather to go out to shoot as it is extremely cold for the hands, I'm always pleased that I've braved the weather to bring back shots such as these:

Maggie,

This one with the swing is a delight. I really like the simple human element there as it says there were children there too!

Hi Maggie,

Thanks for posting these, they're really beautiful (location and photograph!). In some ways they remind me of what brisbane looks like during a thunderstorm - there's a similar kind of emptiness to them.

My fingers and toes are going numb just looking at it. I'm impressed by your fortitude

Hey Maggie, these are a lovely set of images. I love snow images...
When I used to live in Canada we used to heat up Maple Syrup and then pour it into the snow so that it thickened up like toffee and then eat it...

Hi Sam, thanks for taking the time to leave a comment.
Sometimes it is just too cold to stay out long. Your thighs start to feel like you've replaced them with frozen chicken legs from the deep freezer! :-D I do find though, that the harshest days to go out, usually bring back the best results ( I also love to shoot fog in the fall, when it is humid and fresh out). And you are right, it certainly feels empty.

There is a small section of our town that is comprised of 68 log homes that were built for miners to come and live here because they had found important quantities of gold. I love going there to shoot in the winter because the buildings just have such a homey feel to them, you can just imagine everyone huddled inside, in front of a cozy small fireplace drinking something hot and toasty.

Paul, people still do that. They go to what we call " un caban à sucre" (sugar shack) where they extract the syrup from the maple trees and people eat lots of food (smoked salmon, tourtière (pork meat pies), les oreilles de crisse (Christ's ears - actually deep-fried, smoked pork jowls and everything topped with maple syrup. I am not a great fan of maple syrup though, because I find it a just a little too sweet.
