Hi Everyone,
Well its Spring here and we are in for a hot one. So all you people feeling the cold right now how about sharing some snow shots for us Aussies. Specially Micheal and I who have never experienced snow:(
Chris

Wow they are gorgeous. Thanks Ulla. Does it snow long there?
Chris

No snow here (in Toronto ON) yet. I think Andreas would be more than happy to send you some snow.

Thanks Chris...aye it does... normally from November to March/April and this year even into may... there has been one date in May this year where we had almost 30 cm snow coming down over night...  so climate seems to change here a bit too, as winters extend longer into the new year than usually. We are lucky to have a garage for our cars, cause its definitly no fun to dig out your car before you have to go to work...LOL...

@Chris...yes, the snow only looks gorgeous in the pictures LOL!....but in real life it is not so nice.  Remember, you have to SHOVEL this stuff...the roads/walkways can be treacherous and when it does melt 6  months later you have tons of dirt/grime/garbage and dog doo that shows up!

Snow belongs at ski resorts only!!!!  LOL!

It's amazing that those of us who have the snow yearn for the warm weather while those that have the warm weather yearn for the snow!

@Radlafx...yeah...Toronto is the Bahamas of Canada!...go a few hundred km north....

@mermaid...beautiful pics...Switzerland?....I was there a long time ago...one of the prettiest countries in the world!

All joking aside...a fresh snowfall is very pretty.....as long as I'm sitting close to the fireplace....

@Chris...forgot to ask....I have heard that there are places in Australia that do get snow...is this true?

Yes their are some places that get snow. But as yet i havent been. We talked about going in the future. Well today its Spring in Aussieland and i have house all closed up with both airconditioners going. Its not even Summer. Help.
Chris

Should cool you off some ;^)

Oh Chris,

not so nice... but thats waht my sister from Adelaide told me too, only spring and no water and freeking hot. Phones withher yesterday and she said, no way of coming over for Xmas, because it will be the worst fire season ever... sigh
Take care

Ulla

Yep already had some bad fires. Summers down here getting hotter and water restrictions are heavy.
Chris

ROFLMAO @ Kort :lol: :lol: :lol: :m_laugh: I think its easier to take photo's in winter cuz everythings frozen solid. Paparazzi: FREEZE!! Jack frost: But I'm already frozen.

Makes it a lot easier to shoot HDRs and panoramas too! ;'P

Haha Kort,
At least you can get warmer in the cold. So hard down here when Summer heat takes over the air conditioning even. When you walk outside like a heat wave hit you. Cars are boiling etc. Must have shoes on or paths will burn feet in seconds.
Chris

Hey Chris, ever tried frying an egg in the sun? Sun fried (NOT my photo) http://www.renderosity.com/mod/gallery/index.php?image_id=691421&member

Actually you can fry egg on the road and footpaths. Believe me when summer hits when you work outside its like a heatwave hits you. You might complain about snow but we complain about the other extreme. Heat. Isnt looking good for this Summer down here either.
Chris

Hi Aangus,

You get snow already where you live mate? If so how about sending some down this way:)

Chris

I have not seen any snow for a few years.  There are lots of snow images in the Terragen Gallery :~)
