Might have named it as well Breugheliana. After all, it's in "New Amsterdam".

This is one of the places that I revisit at specific times during the year. What a difference from last year! I am off by 3 days only from the marvelous snow days of last year.

The RSR Musem of Art had one of them... Interestingly reminds me of my trips with my dad around Bucharest, trips that usually included Simeza, Galeriile Orizont, Caminul Artei hehe
I always find landscapes filled with people interesting. Usually this scene is on a beach or urban setting. The snow gives you this great contrast. Well done.
Yes, Breughel was my first thought. So delightful, so oddly reassuring. Your 3 days later is a great "showing." How often have I wished to have that returntothesceneofthecrime discipline, but from now on I will expect it from you! Thank you, a gladdening.
Calvin whooped as he raced downhill on his sled. The speed was delightful. As he approached the trees he saw before him a crush of people. This is going to be better than any video game as he took hold of his sled to steer. The object will be to zip in between people. Calvin spotted Susie in the crowd and regretted that he did not bring a snowball.
My first glance at the thumbnail I thought this might be the ice skating rink at Rockerfeller Center. On full screen I was instead greeted by a playful day in the snow with the winter white decorated with people in colorful outfits. It is very scenic, but as I soon as a spotted the two trees, I instantly thought of Calvin and how he view the scene. I think why that popped into my head is because I recalled his humorous antics and also how the comic strip ended back in 95'. The very final strip had Calvin & Hobbes outside in freshly fallen snow, "It's a magical world, Hobbes, ol' buddy... Let's go exploring!" Calvin exclaims as they zoom off over the snowy hills on their sled.
How fun. We typically think of that many people on a beach in the summer. This makes me smile with all of the pops of color from their coats and parkas.
