Default Siberia

Oops, I meant Saint Paul, Minnesota, and The Mississippi River, after our first snowfall. Only twenty more days until the start of Winter. D-Lux 3.

Sharp, clear, and cold. BW much better than color would be.

Al,

Very nicely framed and presented.
I particularly like the semi circle foreground which IMO, enhances the rest of this lovely image.

Al,

B&W gives it the right mood. I can feel the cold wind by the smoke blowing virtually horizontally.

Al -

I agree with all the above and add that I think the white, white smoke adds greatly to the appeal of the image overall.

Very nice shot Al. You've got to feel sorry for the Aussies, sweltering in the Summer sun.
