“To appreciate the beauty of a snowflake it is necessary to stand out in the cold.”
– Aristotle
“…in winter…you feel the bone structure of the landscape — the loneliness of it; the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn’t show.” (Athabasca River Gorge, Jasper National Park, Alberta)
– Andrew Wyeth
“The color of springtime is flowers; the color of winter is in our imagination.”

Thank-you, Heather. There are many parts of winter that I don’t like, like today’s snowstorm, but when the sun shines, the beauty can be entrancing. 🙂

Gorgeous photos – especially the second one, which looks almost other-wordly (in a good way!). Really unique. Fantastic quotes matched up with the photos too 🙂

I agree that the photo of the gorge is quite other-worldy. It was a unique experience to look down and view the green water flowing, while everything else was frozen over. There was a falls close by and that was solid also. Thank-you for your wonderful comment. ❤
