A snow day ~ in the Adirondack PARK - Au Sable Forks, NY • click to embiggen
Before and after ~ in the Adirondack PARK, NY • click to embiggenThis week on Monday, the dogs were out sunning themselves in the backyard, laying on the bare ground and just soaking up the sun. The Cinemascapist was in the neighborhood making sunny day Cinemascapes. And, I liked the shapes , as accented by "the light", on the house across the street, so I made a few pictures as well. All was warm and sunny with the world.
Then, midday on Tuesday, I got my wish and it started to snow - not in earnest, but it was making an effort to lay down some white stuff. During the night on Tuesday, the snow-makers got down to some much more serious business and we were greeted with about 8" on the ground with more on the way - hooray.

Trick of the light - even with the same framing, sunny house seems to be leaning over to viewer's left, snow one is sentry-straight. Very strange.
You know what else might be contributing to that effect Martin... in the snowy one there is a lot of white snow on the roof in upper right and the siding in that area is much lighter than in sunny image. So I think having that upper right so much brighter it balances everything out better?
... I was thinking it might be the shadow cast by the front porch. It's angled to the right so our eyes compensate by angling the porch slightly to the left.
(I hadn't really noticed the sunny house appearing slightly askew until Martin pointed it out.)
BTW I wonder if the neighbour gets a little edgy with Mark camped out the front of his house with a camera? :-)
