Nice image, but from here (Boston) it looks more like summer (no snow at all.)   ;)

Hi Eric, That was in Acacia Park in Colorado Springs, back in the seventies. During the winter there can be some pretty serious snowstorms, but then it warms up and the snow disappears, largely through sublimation instead of melting since the Springs is at about 6,000 feet.

Love this shot. Both the play of shadows and verticals and the interplay between the people. Just fantastic, Russ!

Thanks, John. I used to love to walk through Acacia Park. My office was kitty-corner from the park.

I can't imagine why you ever left.
