Description
 Long time no see! I've often considered spending time visiting galleries on Renderosity a full-time job, but alas, for a couple of months a nearly impossible task to do also, mainly for professional reasons...
 We had a lot of snow a couple of weeks ago, and this photo I took then was made early morning, at dawn, as I was looking through the window, gazing at the thick white cloack of snow that had covered the rooftops of the neighbourhood, in the early hours of the day when every noise was then muffled by the weight and properties of the snow...I decided on photoshopping it to conjure up the special atmosphere that comes along with the first snowfall of the year- the coming of shorter days and longer nights, the lack of sunlight that plays with the people's mood and stamina, the longing for warmth,snugness and togetherness and the first signs of the preparation for Christmas day. Hope you'll like it as much as I did when the clear contours of that photo faded and merged thanks to the brushes of that popular designing software program. Don't forget, zoom in!
 I wish you all a HAPPY MERRY CHRISTMAS ,whatever time zone you live in. Let's hope for a sweeter world, a world that will keep being hospitable to the human race for the decades to come, despite the economic downturn and all the newly-discovered areas of fossil fuel that are full of promises for cheap energy and a costly climatic Apocalypse if we don't cleanse our eyes before it is too late... Thank you very much for your support and be merry !

It was so nice to see you post in the gallery again Jean-Luc, it was the best present I could hope for. This is such a lovely image and the beautiful touches you made to it really help it stand out.

Hello JL ! C'est bon de te revoir et de constater que tu es toujours aussi bon dans le domaine artistique :-) C'est vrai que ça faisait très longtemps que l'on n'entendait plus parler de toi! Ta photo est une merveille et le postwork augmente encore l'effet de la magie de voir un épais tapis blanc. Bonnes fêtes de fin d'année mon ami ! Prends soin de toi !

A beautiful photo and a great you did on the post work Jean-Luc. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you. As far as the snow is concerned, you are saying the same thing all my relatives in Germany were telling me. They already had fair amounts of snow, but it is gone now.

Je suis un peu à la bourre pour te souhaiter un joyeux Noël ! Alors je vais prendre de l'avance sur 2013 et te souhaiter une année merveilleuse venant combler tous tes désirs...et je souhaite que tu nous reviennes, non pas pour commenter (c'est long parfois !) mais pour nous réjouir les yeux avec des images aussi belles que celle-ci !
