White night

Already snowy in Klamath Falls !!
Probably I shouldn't be surprised :-)
It looks like an impressive scene for what we here call 'Presepe', an ancient Christmas tradition( fortunately still surviving)before Santa Claus arriving with his reindeer :-).

Ciao Diane !

This is the time of year we usually get the first snow - our Thanksgiving holiday. It was a huge, very strong storm and only a corner of it came to KF. I guess the Presepe is the same as a Nativity display? That was the result of a Google search, anyway. I can imagine the photo with the required people and animals added to it. ;)

Thank you, Bea!

Stepping in for Bea to confirm that Presepe is a Nativity scene in Italian. When I was a kid, it was as much a part of the holidays as the Christmas tree, but it has become much more unusual to see one in a home. And Bea is exactly right, the light, snow, wintry feel makes it look like the perfect setting for a nativity scene!

Thank you so much, Annalia! Yes, it was the same here, almost every home had a nativity set and there was also one in the town center, in front of every church and sometimes in front of people's houses. Many kids walked around at night singing Christmas Carols in the neighborhoods. (My grandchildren don't know any religious ones.) Very nostalgic to think of things like that, isn't it? My mother's Nativity set is somewhere in storage. I should look for it.

Cool night-shots, Diana !

Vielen Dank, Ulrich!

Cold and cool !!
Have a nice (warm) weekend.

Thank you, Jaap, I am warm right now until I open the door - lol!

White thanksgiving !!!

The day when turkeys fear the most...

They are trembling in their boots! Especially the ones that had to meet the president! ;-b

:D

lovely mood

Happy weekend

Many thanks, the first snow is always charming - if not too deep! ;-)

du hast bereits Schnee ???

Yes, a little bit early, but not terribly unusual. Danke, aNNa!

No one compliments a photo by mentioning a painting anymore. But it feels like a Hopper to me. A wonderful image, Diane.

Generally true, but it's interesting to me that the most common comparison for my photos is Hopper. I think it's because of the simplicity of my style, plus the plain place where I live. Only occasionally do I happen upon the right light. ;-o

Thank you very much, Smiley!

A time to stay at home !

And I have been - haha! Thank you, Pat.

already Christmas-mood!!

It is! We are apparently going to have a rough winter. ;-o
Grazie!

GREAT SHOT IN THE DIM LIGHT

THANK YOU, PAM!

Hi, Diane !
I got your letter, read it and think about - since days.
Seems not optimistic ... may be it's the time of the season ... grey outside, multiplicated with grey on your head ... will answer next.

Heidi, yes, periods of grey and some periods of color...that's life right now! Danke. ;-)

Beautiful shot, I imagine a hot toddy waiting for me inside!

Oops, I forgot to buy the ingredients! Sorry, Maggs!

Brrr - good to stay home, having a nice cup of tea and a piece of cake ... ;-)

Haha - no problem, Leon! It really has not been so cold, but I'll have the tea and cake anyway!

Superb night shot!!
