On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow

One interesting aspect of a large snowfall is the way the snow layers itself. Somehow it even can create a fabric like texture. Look at the way the snow drapes itself over the edge of this roof.

I zoomed on this "fabric;" it came out even better than I realized.

This is the same overhang; with the one on the left zoomed in.

It's also interesting how the snow layered itself on trees.

And here's a "snow turtle."

I wanted a patch of undisturbed snow. Funny but when I took the picture, I didn't pay much attention to the sun.

Those are some pretty cool pictures. I've never seen snow hang over the edge of a roof in layers like that.

Nice title for the post, too. :)

Good eye! The snow really does look like a blanket in the first photo. I also like the blue tone of that photo.
