Such exquisite detail. What lifelike touches. A masterpiece of accumulation. The above photo first appeared in an 1892 edition of Strand Magazine (yes, Sherlock Holmes lovers, THAT Strand Magazine.) Folks back then understood and appreciated the aesthetic possibilities of snowfall.
So why did those abstract artists have to come along and ruin everything?
Baby, it's cold out there.
ReplyDeleteAndrew, no cabs to be had out there.
DeleteI'm sure that in the spring the bones of the missing woman started appearing from the melting figure. Kind of like those Vincent Price movies where the body is hidden by dipping it in the wax tank at the wax museum. --Jim
ReplyDeleteYou've given me an idea for a screenplay, Jim. I suppose you'll want credit, huh?
DeleteAlso royalties.
DeleteLOL!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Debra.
DeleteI once created a dining hall lady snowperson when I was a sophomore. It was a work of art and I don’t have a photo!
ReplyDeleteFrom the examples I've seen on your own blog, Mitchell, you're a pretty good artist, so I hope such a photo someday turns up and you post it.
DeleteHaha that is good. We had a little snow here but it melted quickly. I am not sure if we will see anymore snow, usually a little in March but it has been a mild winter so far!
ReplyDeleteMild winter so far here too, Ananka, but it's taken a nasty turn and is supposed to get worse.
