  1. Poking through your pictures a bit and came across this one. How pretty and peaceful the silent town street on a winter's ever. Love seeing the lights aglow, it brings a warmth to the chilly scene.

    2. Saw a comment on one of your images on FB regarding classic frost and had to come back to this image, as I found something that is classic Frost. (the poet that is) that seems to fit this image well:

      Good Hours

      I had for my winter evening walk—
      No one at all with whom to talk,
      But I had the cottages in a row
      Up to their shining eyes in snow.

      And I thought I had the folk within:
      I had the sound of a violin;
      I had a glimpse through curtain laces
      Of youthful forms and youthful faces.

      I had such company outward bound.
      I went till there were no cottages found.
      I turned and repented, but coming back
      I saw no window but that was black.

      Over the snow my creaking feet
      Disturbed the slumbering village street
      Like profanation, by your leave,
      At ten o'clock of a winter eve.

      Robert Frost

      This takes me back to the town I grew up in. I look at this and hear the snow crunching underfoot and feel the icy air upon my face.
