Temperature was -5c degrees when we venture out to try our luck with snowmaking machine in the area called “Friday Flats” – the beginner slope of Thredbo Resort. Snowmaking and Grooming / Thredbo is the benchmark for snowmaking and grooming in Australia. The already mega snowmaking system that covers 25% of the trails has had another $2 million makeover in the summer and is now fully automated. What does this mean to snow riders? In the 2006 season 42% more snow was made than the previous year, this coming winter the mountain crew expects to produce an extra 30% again. More trails will be covered by the automated system. So better quality, greater coverage and more areas covered. Combine this with a state of the art grooming fleet to smooth the trails (including winch cats to smooth the steep), you know you will always have the best possible snow riding conditions. The "corduroy" surface left behind after a touch up from this mountain crew will make your boards sing!
took this a couple of winters ago, when we had some snow! this was taken along the road in the great smoky mountains, thought i would add..that this shot..is in color..its not a black and white :)
winter of 2005/2006, river in the great smoky mountains, was a great snow that year, this is a color shot, not black and white :)

Taken from my living room window. Natural shot with contrast enhancement only.
shot this the other day, having the privledge of hanging out with anthony pierce in the smoky mountains. the temps were cold enough to keep the ice around. when i saw these three rocks surrounded by alittle snow and ice, they reminded me of islands (hey if you were an ant, it would be an island)
another shot , shot on the last day of the year of 2007 / there wasnt that much snow in the cove, just enough to dust things and temps were cold enough to keep it there for alittle while, something about this field with the grass just tipped with snow and frost, the fog all around just awed me
BEST VIEWED LARGER This shot taken from Mount Hotham in Australias Snowy Mountains area , Mount Hotham is part of the Victorian Alps. Mount Hotham is in the Victorian Alps, about 3.5 hours north of Melbourne and 7 hours south of Sydney. / Australian ski season runs in good years from June until September. See it does snow in Australia !
this was shot on the last day of the year in 2007, was taken in cades cove in the great smoky mountains. it had snowed just alittle to dust everything. the morning was foggy and cold, but oh so beautiful

There has been one sale of this image. In November 2008 this image was featured in the group, Buyers R Us. In February 2009, this image placed third in the U.S. Parks Wildlife Shots challenge hosted by the AMERICA’s National Parks and WILDLIFE Habitat group. A thousand Yellowstone wonders are calling, ‘Look up and down and round about you! John Muir – 1898 The temperatures were in the single digits on this cold, snowy January morning at West Thumb Geyser Basin, which is one of the smallest geyser basins in Yellowstone. A incredibly scenic area along the shore of Yellowstone Lake, West Thumb only has a small amount of geyser activity. However, the basin more than makes up for it with its diversity. Despite its small size, it has paint/mud pots, hot springs, pools, lake shore geysers, and fumaroles. Fumaroles are small openings that release steam and other gasses. You can see in the foreground the muddy, soupy waters inundating the paint pots. The white area beyond the tree line in the right hand side of the photograph is Yellowstone Lake. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Please don’t copy or download this image.

This was a very lucky shot. We had come across one group of these beautiful creatures near Yarrangobilly in Kosciusko National Park just after sunrise only to miss the shot because the camera wasn’t attached to the tripod. I was quite disappointed as you don’t see brumbies everyday and this was the first time I had ever seen them. A bit later on we were driving down a dirt road just past Kiandra in the snowy mountains looking for one of the old huts, when my daughter yelled at me to look at up, and there on the hill beside us were these three. I managed to roll my car down a bit to see more of them and got this one shot out of the car window before they ran off.
Sold a framed copy of this at the ‘Dalby art show’ 9.9.08 /
This is another Holga shot that I took up in Jindabyne…. I had saved this in some weird place on my computer and hence had lost track of it until this morning… I like it – I want to share it. Enjoy =D

Mitre Peak, Milford Sound, Fiordland National Park South Island, New Zealand. Sunset. With the average rainfall being 182 days of the year, your lucky if you get a sunset at all. This is just another lucky day. Milford Sound runs 15 kilometres inland from the Tasman Sea and is surrounded by sheer rock faces that rise 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) or more on either side. Lush rain forests cling precariously to these cliffs, while seals, penguins, and dolphins frequent the waters. It’s magical place this. Very hard to leave.
Okay.. so sorry for all the wintery things this morning, but really, if you had seen this Wonderful morning, you’d have gone wild, too :-) / I left the bit of electrical pole in because for some reason, it didnt seem to matter to me in this one. / Especially not when it crosses the backdrop of mountain in the distance. /
