Fallon, NV - Snow!

[silkensteel]

Can't take a photo yet, sun's not up and it's still dark sky out. But there's a nice thin coating of snow on the farm. 29*F and light snow's supposed to end at 5:30am. We're not having an "Over The River And Through The Woods" kind of "...white and drifting snow," but it's still fun to see.

Here's a photo to the sky east of us, snow clouds over the Stillwater Range, the sun went behind clouds just as I hit the digital shutter, so you miss the intense contrast of cottonwoods against the dark clouds.

What a striking photo! That cloudy deep blue sky and the white trees and golden grass.

One of the many reasons I love living here. You know all those cheesy Western Sunrise/Sunset paintings?

My first September here, I walked out to the pasture and caught one of those sunsets. I remember housemate (who spent a lot of his childhood in Arizona) walking up to me. I turned to him and said, "Those paintings. Those cheesy awful sunset western desert paintings. They really DO look like that!" He answered, "Yep."
This photo was from a couple months later, December 2010.

Hee! I will never look at a cheesy sunset painting the same way again.
