That's amazing sci! I was talking to a friend recently who was about to visit a relative in Calgary and I advised her to "be sure to take warmer clothing, like a parka" lol. I sure hope that was enough advice.
There would be a huge number of Australians who have never seen snow in their lives.

If you ever get to Canada, I give free snow shovelling lessons.

Hey Scifan.. - we usually get snow in January or February (less in December & March), but only an average of an inch or so (per month) in Jan & Feb, and sometimes none at all - good luck w/ this winter. Our worst 'driving nightmare' here are icy roads, a pain when I was working and had to go in regardless - now in retirement not an issue (I can sleep in and stay in the house until the afternoon or the next day - ).

Pertinent to my posts about the fall colors in the North Carolina mountains, the colors in the city are still quite vivid - we have a beautiful Japanese Maple along the back driveway that looks its best this time of year - pic below from about 11PM today w/ the sun shining on the tree. Dave

You're right, that Japanese maple is a real stand out.

This afternoon, Susan & I went to Reynolda House in our town now having a national traveling exhibition described below - seems to have been an influential art movement at the turn of the 20th century - a lot of artists that I had not heard before (and I'm not too bad @ this stuff - ) - in general, impressionistic paintings of gardens and/or flowers often adorned w/ a female or two - quite enjoyable; below some pics from the exhibit to enjoy - Dave

The Artist’s Garden will tell the story of American Impressionist artists and the growing popularity of gardening as a leisure pursuit at the turn of the 20th century. Focusing on the American Garden Movement of 1887-1920, the exhibition will consider such themes as American artists’ visits to European gardens; the enthusiasm for gardening among women; the urban garden, the artist’s garden, and the garden in winter. Organized by the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, the exhibition and its accompanying catalogue will include representations of gardens across the United States and Europe.

Among the artists whose work will be included are some of the most beloved artists in the Reynolda House collection such as William Merritt Chase and Childe Hassam, along with other major American artists not represented at Reynolda, including Cecilia Beaux, Maria Oakey Dewing, Frederick Carl Frieseke, John Twachtman, and J........

I like the combination of backlighting and front lighting on the clouds at different altitudes. The third photo shows this best, in my opinion.

I agree.
It shows a different part of the sky, and it's not cropped, that's what might make it better than the other two.

I like all 3 and the middle one best.

All really good but I like the third one best. It reminded me of an aircraft carrier or destroyer moored near Apetlon at sunset
