Big freeze

I'm currently in Michigan, USA, before heading to Spain later in the week. To say its cold is an understatement. At this very moment it is -15C which is a tad nippy. I did manage to venture out in the cold and take a few snaps today, but it was painful.

I'm not sure what's happening with the formatting here. I'm using an ipad, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Love the first Ozi. You have handled the exposure very well in all of these.

It's positively balmy today, started at -15C, but now it has warmed up to -4, which I think is about as warm as it's going to get. One more rest day tomorrow then it's back to work for 2+ weeks straight. Spain, Italy and UK will seem summer-ish compared to Michigan this week.'Hopefully there'll be time to take some photos.

Brrrrrrrrr. It seems any colour goes with white.
Great exposures and the colours are fantastic.

Lovely images, colorful bunch over there obviously!!
Your a very brave man heading out in those temps. How did you go re acclimatising your gear back inside to warmer temps?

No temperature problems with my Fuji X10, just keep it in my coat pocket and it goes straight back in after use. I even had it resting in the snow for a while.

I really like all three shots and the thing that struck me was that with a population over 250M there is not one person to be seen

The only insane person I met, walking around in these temperatures, was me. No wonder I have a chest infection.
Of course, even if the weather was perfect, there would still be no one walking around. Americans don't walk anywhere. If they could drive from the bedroom to the bathroom, they would. Such is American lifestyle...
