Aiming for another 5.? But I think it's funny and have since I saw it two years ago.

Snow is blue, sometimes. Sometimes it is dirty.

For me, the humor in this is the idea that adults on snowmobiles are like children at play.

This is a seasonal sign added to the year-round playground sign.

After struggling to make a few different images taken at this time look the way I had envisioned it, I have decided I need to save up for a wide-angle lens. There are many times I could get closer to the effect I imagine with the proper equipment...

I know it would be better with snowmobiles, children or both in it--but it wasn't possible at the time.

The more I see of snow bound streets the happier I am I'm in the sub-tropics. Thanks for your photo.

I think that the sign needs a little more illumination to make this picture really pop. I love the texture of the snow.
