Leavenworth, Washington

Winterfest 2010
Leavenworth is a small town nestled in the eastern side of the Cascade Mountains in Washington state. No ordinary town though, it adopted a Bavarian theme in the 1960's and hosts a wide variety of celebrations throughout the year. The previous image was shot three years ago and this one was taken tonight. As the sunset a light snowfall began and substantially added to the joyful, Christmas feeling. We always enjoy our visits to this beautiful town and the festive atmosphere.

Definately the style of Norman Rockwell. This is superb!

Now how cool is this, this town is stunning in it's own right.
But add the snow, and it turns the place into a magical wonderland.
Beautiful work Jim.

The snowfall really adds to the feel of this. Brilliant!
It really looks like a fine painting. There is an artist,
Pauline Paquin, who's studio is in Quebec, that does marvelous
oils that look very much like your gorgeous image.
