A Triumph showed up after lunch. I didn’t take another picture though since the Triumphs just aren’t so pretty….. *grin*

I wish I could feel about them as you do. Often I just think I missed what I was after. Maybe that’s why I keep trying.

We get a lot of frost here but never seems to affect the road surfaces. I have seen freezing fog a couple times though. That was bad.

The grayness just adds to the adversity.

I think shooting in gray light is much easier to deal with than a sunny day. Maybe it’s just a bias…

Would make a nice poster.

You are the master, the light doesn’t matter, grey, bright, overcast, cloudy, whatever, your images just POP.

The cold doesn’t bother me as much as frost or ice. I can’t commute to work until the frost burns off. There is no heat at 7am when I leave for work.

Shooting in gray light is tough though, you do such a good job of it.
