I was looking for some traditional imagery of the season and found myself saving pictures.

Down Under it is probably in the 80's.

What images appeal to you right now? Would you share them? Mine are not what I thought I would click on.

Try to imagine Xodian digging himself out of knee deep snow. Gosh I think shoveling the front walkway has become a twice a day chore.

*Le Sigh* Well can't complain; I wanted winter and I wanted the snow Lol! Guess this situation officially qualifies as those "Becareful what you wish for" senerios.

Hi Xodian~ I was looking @ Buffalo NY Last night! Laughing...Where in Canada are you again???

I love the snow. If it is going to be cold we might as well have something to show for it right? Even when it is dangerous and, a pain in the A@@ it's beautiful.

Node:

Scarbrough: Part of the greater GTA area.

Gosh, the snow ploughs here take their time comming so most of the homeowners need to clear off their own paths on their driveways Lol!

And just to add on to your little collection (what would I give to just be out there in nothing but a Gi and not freeze to death Lol!)

I love going fast. I also love a bit of danger. So, sled riding was absolutely one of my favorite childhood memories.

I didn't particularly care for the woosie sitting ride, I preferred to be on my belly when I slammed into a tree.

A week or so right here with unlimited funds would do me nicely.....

It would be fun to go skiing again sometime, but I might spend more time here than out on the runs.....

Xodie: If you come back here assuming your pic is a game character- do you know the motif of the left-hand index ring? Know what it is?

~Zala! thank you- The chalet/condo pic reminds me of a show I watched on the rich and famous ski spots. One showed a very similar outside view of St. Moritz, Switzerland. Where the Zillionaire ski up to the quaint cottage [that they own] and visit once a year.

St Paul Winter Carnival! Love the Gargoyle with a cupa, especially with the crime scene tape in front of it. Is that Pan with the flute? Fabulous! And the large mansion or church? looks like something out of Dr. Zhivago. Don't have time to add more,...later tonight. Thanks again

Haha, well I return .

Actually that isn't a game concept art but rather done by a female poster artist with the alias "Heise." Now I don't exactly know what the ring is supposed to represent Lol! But seeing how the youth looks like someone from the Imperial or nobility line, the ring he is wearing might represent the clan/house/family he comes from.

BTW: If you like that one, then you can see a lot more on her deviant art page:

Xodian- said in my best *Precious* LOTR voice- Meesome like! Interesting work and sexay. This one reminds me of the *Rose* pose the DiCaprio character sketches in Titanic. On her site she says that the background is borrowed as a template...

And BR your chocolate idea is inspired! Ever had fresh made snow cream? Bowl of fresh snow, with sugar + vanilla and half and half. The addition of chocolate? One fresh chocolate cream snow cone coming right up

Here is a Winter Beach for ya
