Description

The plastic behaviour of snow on roofs fascinates me. The snow-sheet on the roof of this shed (some of them are really very old here, with building-dates back to even the 17th century!) wraps a bit around the cable, as if someone folded a white blanket around it.

This nicely illustrates the common saying, "A blanket of snow".

Uncut! The melting that occurs due to pressure is not shown. Clearly the softening of the snow from sunlight on the top did not make the unlayment anywhere near 4 degrees C.

A new example of this discussion I started a few weks ago about the "infinite number of variations in the states of matter" I didn't think about snow but yes, it's definitely an excellent example! Great shot...

Splendid composition, a wonderful 'blanket' with superb texture; almost like a material cloud has draped itself gently upon the building. Well done!

I'd hate to be under that when it falls off the roof! Magnificent work!

Wow, that is neat. I'm fascinated too! I also like your perspective in this photo, and the blues of the snow on the ground. Quite a shot!

Wow!!! this is fantastic capture, Jan-Carel!!!! It sure DOES look like that's a snow blanket covering roof so nicely!!! It is a bit worrisome though if the structures are so old. sure hope the roof will be able to withstand the pressure! Perspective of this is right on & i love the blue tones!!!!! Cool shot!
