Title: 22 years later...
Post by: Seed_Of_Evil on January 27, 2005, 08:07:44 AM: ... it has snowed again in my village. The last time it happened was the day I was born, almost 22 years ago. For all us here, one of the hottest zones in Europe, this is a wonderful and strange event. I\'d like to share with you three of the pictures I took early this morning. :)

Post by: CHIZZY on January 27, 2005, 08:45:13 AM: Water level\'s lookin\' kinda low in that river, man. Nice pics, although it\'s pretty hard to be impressed by snow when you\'re from Buffalo. It\'s thigh-deep here right now. :D

Are those olives growing in the 2nd pic?

Hehe, hi Chizzy. It is not a river but a reservoir. It\'s low because during the summer season, the water is released to irrigate the fields. Now, with the snow and future rains in spring, it may recover a good level ;).

Yep buddy, all those are olive trees from which we extract the oil :)

Post by: Coredweller on January 27, 2005, 08:52:42 AM: What camera did you use?

You might want to set the white balance manually on that third pic. Otherwise, they are pretty nice.

Canon A95 5mp. It\'s blue tone and not white at all because it was still dawning when I shot this picture, so there wasn\'t a lot of light. Anyway, I like the blue tone. Thx ^^

Come to Jersey then. Adan, congrats on the snow. It is cool when its rare but get it every year and in big quantities, it is a chore to clean up and drive through. I have pictures of my car in the snow from last saturday right after I got home. I\'ll post pics when I get a chance.

Post by: Falgarok on February 01, 2005, 11:34:07 AM: Man, this is really weird.

At first, this winter didn\'t even seem cold enough and now there\'re places in Spain with temperatures as low as -13°C. That\'s crazy for Spain. It doesn\'t help that it\'s even colder here in the north. It seems it\'s getting better though.

22 years?

Maybe castellanos speakers say y, but for the most part its just one continuous number compadre. ;)

Anyway,

Chicago gets plenty snow (usually). I tried going to the skate park today since its been getting really warm but the damn snow was still there.

Beautiful my ass. Take it away!
