My World My Lens
First Snow
Posted by Stunner (Kingston, Jamaica) on 3 December 2007 in Cityscape & Urban.
Yesterday was the first day of Snow in New York City and also the first in my life I am experiencing snow! The temperature here is like nothing that I have ever experienced before, but I was well geared up for it in my winter gears. When I woke up on Sunday morning and saw outside all covered in white, I waisted no time getting my clothes together and my camera to head out to experience the Winter Wonderland!
If you look closely, you'll see some foot tracks going to the rear of the first car on your left, yeah, those are mine, lol!

Great shot...just enough snow to be pretty and not a painful!
After being up north for over 10 years I am looking forward to a "snowless" winter this year in the south!

Brrrr. But I love neighborhoods like that.
It is so essentially american-looking.

@amy: Not at all, was born and still live in Jamaica. But i do come to NY often as my sis lives here and my parents recently migrated.

Join the club. The first snow is something quite memorable. Mine was when I was 32 years old and it's still in my mind. I was living Africa before

It must be an amazing experience to walk in the snow for the first time. Its getting a bit like that over here in England. My thirteen year old son has only played in snow three or four times in his life, which is really sad, as I remember it always snowed in winter when I was a kid. Anyway, enjoy it whilst you get the chance.

A memorable shot indeed. This is definitely one to treasure. I like the way you’ve composed this one, how the eye is drawn to look right down the street. It’s an exciting road ahead, this winter adventure. Love it. :)
