Snow snow snow 2, a photo from Aarhus, West

Photographer's Note

I took this photo yesterday in the snowstorm, in a street called "Graven" in the city of the center. The photo is not so very sharp, but it was snowing and I was freezing. There is still a lot of snow. It's really a long time ago I have seen so much snow.

This is how my balcony looked like yesterday.

According to the weatherforecast, 巒hus got 26 cm snow, only the the middle of Jutland got 4 cm more. Fortunately, no serieus accidents happened, only lots of small ones.

A very nice capture,Stefan!
The colors of the car are repeating the colors of the houses in the background,-this is great!
You were really lucky that it was a 2CV and not a modern car!
Good shot!

Looks bad - not meaning your shot, but those conditions. But for that kind of car, there are no problems :) . Funny to get by TE, wheather reports too ! Interesting street view, thanks a lot.

great shot with the color of the car matching the buildings.
in this one you touched something with the 2CV.. This is my first car, still the one I loved the best in all the cars I had..

Hi Stef,
Very nice capture of this french icon on wheels, BTW if you have adequate tyres it's great fun to drive it on snow !!!
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

This is neat, the white & red colors that repeat in the car and the houses. To me, it is strange to see a 2 CV in the snow. Nice composition.

lovely snow pic, I like the way you have taken this shot, the snow is really nice taken too, well done

Hi Stef, it's very nice how this struggling red/white 2CV and the red/white house balance this picture. Due to the well captured (falling) snow and the angle of taking it's also a very dynamic picture. Very well seen & done.

Hello Stef
Inderdaad het heeft daar bij julie flink gesneeuwd zie ik ,en ook op uw balkon hoho !!!
De prent vindt ik weer mooi omwille van de mooie kleurschakering en het contrast met het twee paardje (bij ons werdt dit wagentje "de GEIT" genoemd .Goede compositie en de scherpte valt heus wel mee hoor.

I remember, it did not have much heating there on the 2CV, but what a handling!
This evening in front of my home, it is almost the same thing, snows, snow, snow!
Very beautiful photograph, thank you Stef.

Nice to (finally) see a winter photo from Denmark - I like the 2CV - not many of those around any more - and long time since I had to quit mine :-( - I like the fine red an white and the streetlife you got here as well - thanks Stef.

Bonsoir Stef,
La neige devient une denr嶪 rare ! ;-)) toutefois quand elle survient, elle surprend tout le monde avec les inconv幯ients que l'on conna褾.
Le poids d'une 2CV 彋ant tr鋊 l嶲er, cela permet de circuler � l'inverse des voitures beaucoup plus lourdes.
Une bonne photo d'actualit�, Stef.
Bien vu.

Good picture, almost tells a story. Nice one Stef.

Hi Stef,
I like very much the red and white composition with the beautiful old Citroen. I am a bit distracted by the blue roof, and I'll try to fic it in my WS, but it's a very very god shot.

Hi Stefan,
This must be arranged! The same red-grey in the fa蓷de and in 蘔et lelijke eendje�.
All in a fine entourage with much snow. I like your version better than the workshop. The snow-atmosphere disappears with more saturation of the red.
groetjes Rob

God id� at tage et billede med denne her bil, jeg kan godt lide bilens r鷣e dele midt i den hvide by! Det er virkelig en uhyre stor m熡gde af sne! Flot gjort!

jmdaoudal (82) 2005-02-15 3:05

Very good one for the framing and the colors. I like very much this "deudeuch" whose color correspond to this from house and door.
Very well done

Hello Stef,
That's incredible to see a 2CV in such situation, in Denmark!!
Very good compo with nice colors.

Oh a nice old timer fighting against the elements.
I like the picture especially because of these red and white recalls everywhere.

singuanti (15250) 2005-02-15 22:04

I like these snow scene shots your posting. I like how you captured life going on despite the snowfall. the reds in the shot are especially nice and rich. What kind of car is that? another good one!

Steve_T (421) 2005-02-16 6:09

Great Idea Stef, great colours too. Good work!

nrae (429) 2005-02-17 22:43

I would have cropped the brown building on the right as it adds nothing. But all in all a simply great shot Stephen. Coincidence makes for a wonderful matching of colours but it takes the keen eye to capture it. Congrats.
