Yes, we are, Melbob; aren't we?? Many thanks for your "philosophical" conclusion on the dialogue between Pops and me! And thanks, of course, for your kind remark on the image too! (It's still a *photo* challenge, right?). Regards, db.

Another great scene Daniel.

Well?.... I guess ..... "the grass always appears greener......" I really love the snow (being from a very much more temperate climate)... but rarely get to experience it.

I can visualise an amusing scene whereby those from the north wave as they pass those from the south ... each escaping the rigours of their climatic birthplace?

We mortals are amusing creatures?

Regards Melbob

Well, Pops, I moved thirty years ago from Switzerland to Spain. Getting "away from all that white stuff" was not the main aim at all, but a welcome "side-effect". Meanwhile, I do enjoy "all that white stuff" and the atmosphere it creates when every now and again spending a few days "back home". I'm glad the snow makes sense to you at least in this image... ;-) db.

Years ago I moved from Detroit to Atlanta to get away from all that white stuff. I don't like it. This picture reaffirms my decision to move to a warming climate. On another note the whites really offset the wood tones making them an important part of the picture. That contrast works well here.
