The Blue of Snow


I was in Toronto yesterday and was in the core of the financial district walking in the underground paths along King Street between Yonge and University.  It's a familiar area for me, but at Christmas it takes on the frenzy of crowds shopping.  In the underground shopping areas, there were line-ups outside some stores. As one person left the next could enter.  Everywhere the Christmas decorations and trees were magical and elegant. 

Today's image is a contrast to yesterday's experience. It comes from the Beamer Memorial Park above the escarpment.  This was one of the big snow falls last year where the air was calm so the snow stayed stuck to the trees.

The image is naturally black and white.  When one 'turns' it black and white, there's no difference.  Blue seemed the way to go as it is one of the alternates for Christmas colours.  It is a nice contrast from the traditional red and green.
