Description

         &nbspLong 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...

         &nbspWe 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!
         &nbspI 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 !

Such wonderful words you've said in your caption... and your composition is warm, in spite of the cold snow and ever so cozy and wonderful! It gives me that all-out fuzzy inside feeling that I wish I could hold onto forever... minus the awful driving conditions, of course :)
