Southern Snow

Our recent snowstorm in Athens shut the city down for a week.  Since I moved from Utah to Georgia, I have been wanting a layer of snow to enhance my photographs.  It adds a different dynamic to the photos, for sure.  The above photo of the streetlight was another attempt at a slower shutter speed to try and capture the snowflakes falling sideways.

Athens Snow

I've been playing around with my new Nikon D90 i got for my birthday. It's been a lot of fun. The night before school was supposed to start, it snowed 5 1/2 inches of snow in Athens, GA. It was the largest snowstorm Georgia has seen since "the blizzard of '93".

My wife, Allison, and I decided to take a stroll through The University of Georgia campus...just to see it covered in white. As we finished our walk and headed across the street to Starbucks for a hot cocoa, I caught this view of the arch. I thought this scene captured the feel of downtown Athens, GA after 5 1/2 inches of snow the prior evening.
