    Love them both, quite a contrast. Wander what is under the blanket of new snow. Guess we will find out as the year unfolds.

    Nice post. The cemetery is so striking, with all that colorful sky and expansive landscape in the distance. A rather chilly welcoming to 2009!

    Once again, truly fabulous images!
    Your posts always make me feel happy about travelling the skies with you, thank you for sharing your world.

    N.B.:
    Yes, the ice is thick, but not everywhere: Moments after I took the picture of the children, one adult broke through the ice, near the reeds. Musrats living in the reeds blow airbubbles, which weaken the ice above their travel routes.

    Lovely shots. Did you sty up to see the new year in? I was in Tottenham, and then in Barrie, sitting in a cold car outside until the stroke of midnight, when we went "First Footing".
