(but I live in northern Italy....)
I love rain, I'd like to swap some snow for rain, in that wood there are now probably 120-150 cm of snow.

Here two images of the same november day:
1. West Grosina Valley, the larch of the precedent photo is in the woods in the upper right background.
2. Snow that with a slow shutter speed seems rain, on the bottom of the valley.

Really like the second one. It looks like you were standing on the inside of a waterfall. Sort of...

That's an original visual idea, it's much better than my photo, or rather makes it better (hermeneutic circle...)

Frozen fingers and a painful left foot. Just the ticket.

Nice one, Rob.
I assume Ms. Coke is hiding behind the plane tree. It somehow reminds me of my favorite portrait of Imogen Cunningham, the one by Judy Dater of Imogen and Twinka.

Thanks, Eric, I think I remember that shot - was it one of a girl in a white dress bending down, her bum against a tree and sort of clutching the dress to her knees? I once saw some original Cunningham stuff - tiny Rolleiflex contact prints, or small enough to have made no difference. Thinking about it, she must have been one of the influences behind the way late 50s/early 60s fashion photography went. Another person very much a trend-setter though not as celebrated for his fashion as others, is Frank Horvat. He has some lovely stuff in his website.

But no, can't be: the shot I'm thinking about is by I.C. and not of her. Caramba, it's the cold.

Not that one, Rob. The one I'm thinking of has Imogen coming around the tree trunk from the left, wielding her camera, while Tinka, naked seems to be trying to hide behind the tree.

Here is a link to it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Judy_Dater

Oh Eric, you see the disappointment of having nothing but the bloody tree? That's always been my mental problem with any landscape or other shot I attempted: there's really no subject!

That's what your imagination is for. When looking at a tree trunk, try to imagine Twinka or BB or MM or your favorite model hiding behind the tree.
